Ata black belt essay

It can be a bit overwhelming for a new Taekwondo student to keep track of the ATA belt levels, so here is a list of each Taekwondo rank, what they represent, and what you need to do in order to progress through each one. This is where all Taekwondo students start their journey.

The black belt levels have 9 degrees, each one with their own specified forms, with each form containing 81 moves for the 1st degree, and up to 99 moves for the 1st degree black belt. Unlike the previous belt levels, black belts do not have a “half-rank”.
