 | | Even though different Tae Kwon Do styles, associations, or schools may make adjustments or additions, traditionally there are ten color belt levels ("gup," "kup," or "keub.") and ten fl belt levels, called "Dan" (or "Poom" when the recipient is under 16 years old, under WTF regulations. |
 | | Between solid colors a crossbar / stripe of the next full color is added to the belt indicating the awarded gup level. |
 | | Some groups use a solid color alternative instead of stripes (fl, camo, orange, etc.) For example, a common belt scheme assigns the following keubs: white (13), yellow (12), purple (11), orange (10), green (9), senior green (8), blue (7), senior blue (6), brown (5), senior brown (4) red (3), senior red (2), red-fl/Bo dan (1). |
