2nd Kup - Red Belt
     
Black is the opposite of white: signifying maturity and proficiency, also symbolising the wearers imperviousness to darkness and fear.
     
Hwa Rang (29 movements) literally means ‘flowering youth’. It was named after an army of young warriors who were first mentioned in AD 600. Over the years they played a major role in the reunification of Korea’s three kingdoms. The 29 movements in the pattern refer to the 29th infantry division in which Tae Kwon-do developed into maturity. [Note that the founder, Major General Choi Hong Hi, served in the 29th infantry division]
