Rhee Tae Kwon-Do belt system
‘Kup’ is a Korean word meaning level or grade.
A ‘kup’ is a rank of colour belt used to signify your ‘grade’, or ‘rank’. You may also see it written as geup or gup.
Hyung. Hyeong. Pumsae. Teul.
There are many different names but all of these mean “pattern” in the Korean Martial Arts of Tae Kwon-Do and Tang Soo Do. While we often refer to them simply as “patterns” in class, Rhee Tae Kwon-Do uses “hyung” as it is the preferred term for teaching Tae Kwon-Do in its traditional form.
10th Kup Saju Chirugui - The first belt of the beginner is WHITE, which indicates clarity and purity. It symbolises innocence and an uninhibited mind. Thus, assuming that the person has no prior knowledge of the art and training. This Hyung lays the foundation of future Hyung to come. This is the most basic Hyung providing the beginner with understanding and combining the fundamental movements at different oriented angles to develop the coordination and balance of the execution. The Hyung is divided into two parts of duplicated movements to ensure the equal balance of the body development. It consists of simple basic attack and defence situations. Although there is lack of variation of technique, the practitioner is given more opportunity to concentrate on precision skills in execution and good control of power and balance, together with correct breathing.
