Tae Kwon Do Uniforms


The Tae Kwon Do uniforms are required to be loose fitting and usually it comes in either white or black. The uniform comes together with a belt tied along the waist. The color of the belt describes what level you are in. Since you are in constant use of these Tae Kwon Do uniforms you will have to know how to take care of it so it does not rip because that is usually what happens. You will notice that the uniform is quite heavy at first but you get used to it and material is quite thick, however you will need to get loose fitting so that when you sweat during training it flows down onto your body.

While the Tae Kwon Do uniforms might resemble the karate ones, they are totally different because for Tae Kwon Do you will find there either black or white. However there are some dojang, which is the name of the schools that teach Tae Kwon Do you will find that some wear red uniforms and others different colors.

The belt is another key factor that accompanies the uniform and just like karate, the belt is what shows the rank and the highest is definitely the black belt. The ranks are usually separated into junior and senior, or student and instructor sections. The junior consist of ten ranks which consist of color belts and can be of various colors depending on the school.

Once you have passed the ten ranks you become a senior and your belt changes. You then have to go through another nine ranks to become a full fledged black belt. They have degrees such as third or fourth degree black belt and usually begin from first degree.
