Belt Levels and Scripture

Traditionally, "form meanings" were memorized along with each belt level progression. These form meanings, written by Taekwondo's founder General Choi,  are dedicated to Korea's history and Confusionist concepts. As a Christian organization, we have added biblical scriptures for memorization at each level to help shape the moral and spiritual development of our warriors. Learning scriptures is encouraged but not required as we do have students of other faiths that are given this option. The form meaning that were traditionally memorized with each belt level can be viewed under the Tuls tab as these meanings are descriptive of the concepts behind pattern formation.

Level 1 Red Belt

Choong-Moo

Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle. (Psalms 144:1)

Level 2 Red Belt

Choong-Moo

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

(1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

Level 3 Red Belt

Choong-Moo

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

1st Dan Black Belt

Kwang-Gae

Where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

(1 Corinthians 13:8-12)

1st Dan Black Belt

Po-Eun

No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

(Matthew 6:24-26)

1st Dan Black Belt

Gae-Baek

You were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.  (1 Corinthians 6:20)
