White Belt (Hween Dee)
Tenth Keup

Tae Kwon Do originated in Korea some 2,000 years ago. It was developed by a group of people to use as self-defense. Tae Kwon Do means the art of kicking and punching (Tae meaning to jump or kick with the foot, Kwon meaning to punch or strike with the hand, and Do meaning art, way of life, and moral culture). In Tae Kwon Do kicks are used about 80% of the time and punches the remaining 20%.

	BELT COLOR EXPLANATION: White light gives the appearance of purity and brilliance, but when directed through a prism we can see that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. So it is that the beginner whose vision is pure and pristine, when it is directed through the prism of training with sincerity and dedication, we can see that his or her essence is potential. He or she is the seed hidden beneath the winter’s snow.
