In martial arts, belts are used as a part of the uniform and a symbol of rank. The belt holds the gi, or dobok in Taekwondo, closed and the color of the belt indicates how experienced the practitioner is.

In Taekwondo, a form (“poomse”) is a method of expressing and cultivating energy through a series of stances and flowing movements involving various offensive and defensive hand and kicking techniques. A mature poomse required harmony (“taegeuk”) of um and yang, with proper posture, respiration, and deep concentration. -- Written by SUSA Chief Carlos Stern May 2015 Black Belt indoor Test
