ATA Songahm Taekwondo Belt Rank Meanings
The concept of belts and rank is probably one that most people associate with Taekwondo and martial arts in general, even if they only have a passing interest in the subject.
In Songahm Taekwondo, our belts reflect a member's proven level of competence and (just as importantly) the progression of colors reflects an inner journey that never truly ends. Each belt achieved is truly an accomplishment worthy of respect.
It is also worth noting that achieving a belt isn't just a matter of "spending enough time" in a previous belt. In order to achieve their next rank, a student must demonstrate their proficiency in their current belt's techniques, to include Basic Moves, Sparring, and Forms.

Songahm Taekwondo Forms
A form is a predetermined series of individual actions performed without a partner. The form demonstrates a combination of both body and mind development. A student must memorize the movements of the form in the proper order. Visualizing the actions become important because with no partner the targets are imaginary. The concentration necessary for both memorization and visualization requires tremendous mental discipline. To develop the quality of technique required in forms, you must develop both body and mind. The elements of body technique include the following: the proper execution of each move, balance, speed, power, and the correct timing of the hand and foot. The elements of mind technique include the following: memory, visualization, eye contact, kihap, facial expression, sincere effort, and concentration.
