Equipment
The Dobok – Taekwondo Uniform
The Taekwondo uniform is known as a dobok, and consists of white cotton trousers and a shirt (white symbolises purity). Both the trousers and shirt are roomy and very comfortable, allowing the bearer freedom of movement for his/her arms and legs.
Protective Equipment
As Taekwondo is a full contact sport, contestants are required to wear protective equipment before entering the competition area. Protective equipment used in Taekwondo competitions include headgear, a trunk (body) protector, forearm and shin guards and a groin guard.
Grades of Belts
The Taekwondo system of graded belts enables one to see at a glance what level of skill a taekwondoka (or Taekwondo athlete) has reached; what range of knowledge he or she has; and what contribution he or she has made to the sport. The grade is shown by the colour of the waist belt. There are two types of grades, Kup and Dan. Dan grades are the higher of the two, and are indicated by a gold line for each grade on the belt.
KUP
White belt, Yellow belt, Green belt, Blue belt, Red belt
DAN
Black belt
Every beginner starts with a white belt. Black belts are awarded to apprentices who have a good knowledge of Taekwondo techniques and have shown seriousness and dedication as pupils. It takes two to three years of training to attain black belt status.
