ADVANCED BLUE TO BEGINNER RED
The Blue Belt symbolizes the color of our skies. In reaching this plateau of Taekwondo one must not become complacent seeing oneÂ’s knowledge as high as a tree, but one must also realize that this is not an end, that one should reach still higher, to the very blueness of the sky. Like the sky which engulfs and embraces us, so should the knowledge transcend the height of the trees and go higher spreading all around us.
