How many kyus are there in blue belt Tae kwon do belts?
The correct term for grade in Taekwondo is the Korean word "geup." There is usually only one geup per belt color, but sometimes there are two. This question uses incorrect terminology since Taekwondo is a Korean Martial Art, and the term "kyu" is Japanese for the color belt level or "grade." In the Korean language, the term for grade is "geup." The grading system is used to create short term goals for the student, and checkpoints for the Instructor on the path to reach 1st Degree Black Belt. The grades may be divided into any number, but typically begin at 8th grade, or 9th grade, and count down to the 1st grade being the highest level of color belt before attaining Black Belt. The white belt is the beginner rank that is either considered "mu geup" ("no grade") or represents a 10th level, or the 9th or 8th grade. Each grade after white belt is represented on the student's uniform by wearing a different color belt, or adding taped stripes to a current belt. Some Taekwondo schools and organizations use a different color for each grade, getting gradually darker toward the Black Belt, while others use one belt for two grades, and add stripes to show an advancement from a low grade to high grade of the same color. Example: Mu Geup = No Grade - White Belt Gu Geup = 9th Grade - Yellow Belt or White Belt Pal Geup = 8th Grade - Gold Belt or Low Yellow Belt Chil Geup = 7th Grade - Orange Belt or High Yellow Belt Yuk Geup = 6th Grade - Green Belt or Low Green Belt Oh Geup = 5th Grade - Purple Belt or High Green Belt Sa Geup = 4th Grade - Blue Belt or Low Blue Belt Sam Geup = 3rd Grade - Red Belt or High Blue Belt Yi Geup = 2nd Grade - Brown Belt or Low Brown Belt Il Geup = 1st Grade - Brown & Black Stripe Belt or High Brown Belt or Red Belt Il Dan = 1st Degree Black Belt

What is below a black belt?
Answer: 1st grade (belt color may vary, but is often either brown or red) The Black Belt represents a "Dan" (pronounced "dahn") or degree level of expertise. Under the Black Belt rank are the grades ("geup" in Korean / "kyu" in Japanese). These grades are temporary levels of progress towards the Black Belt beginning with a higher number for the lowest grade, and graduating to the lowest number at the highest grade (IE: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Black Belt 1st Dan, 2nd Dan, 3rd Dan, etc.). Which color belt that is used to represent each grade will vary in different organizations, systems, and from school to school. However, the general principle is to start the novice at white belt to represent innocence, purity, and a lack of knowledge of the Martial Art, and then the belts get gradually darker as the student is promoted in rank. The belt just before Black is often Brown, but sometimes red is used. If both brown and red are used as high grades, some schools will place the brown first, while others will put the red first and the brown at 1st grade. Some Japanese Martial will use a Red Belt, or a Red and White striped belt as a Grandmaster level above the Black Belt.

How many belts are in taekwondo?
There is no set number of belts, and the number of different color belts depends on the organization. The student's progress is measured in increments known as "geup" (aka "gup") which means "grade." There are typically 8, 9, or 10 grades of promotion before the Black Belt, then 9 Degrees of the Black Belt (in some cases, a 10th Degree is awarded - usually posthumously or as an honorary non-active rank). In Korea, the beginner rank, often depicted by a white belt, is called "mu geup" (no grade), but some schools label the white belt as "sip geup" (10th grade).In some Taekwondo organizations, there are fewer colors, and an advancement in grade might be indicated by one, two, or three taped stripes on the end of the belt.An example of this might be as follows:No geup - white9th geup - yellow 18th geup - yellow 27th geup - green 16th geup - green 25th geup - blue 14th geup - blue 23rd geup - red 1 (or brown)2nd geup - red 2 (or brown)1st geup - red 3 (or brown)Black Belt Candidate - Cho Dan Bo(if under age 15 - 1st Poom through 4th Poom is a Jr. Black Belt)Black Belt 1st Dan - 9th DanAn example of using a different color for each grade might be like the following:No geup - white9th geup - yellow8th geup - gold7th geup - orange6th geup - green5th geup - purple4th geup - blue3rd geup - red2nd geup - brown1st geup - brown with black stripe through middle(note: the order of colors is traditionally supposed to go from light to dark on a gradual scale from white belt to Black Belt. Some schools switch the order of colors. The ATA also uses a camouflage belt. However, it is not the color of the belt that is important, but the grade that represents the progress level of knowledge and skills the student has learned at that point)
