Ranks

In Tang Soo Do when we start class the instructor says “line up”. We line up in a certain order, the order is determined by are rank. The colored belts are referred to as gups, white belt is the 10th gup, yellow belt is 9th gup, orange belt is 8th gup, orange belt with a green stripe is 7th gup, green belt is 6th gup, green belt with a red stripe is 5th gup, green belt with  2 red stripes is 4th gup, red belt is 3rd gup, red belt with a blue stripe is 2nd gup, and red belt with 2 blue stripes is 1st gup. After that is cho dan bo and then cho dan bo with a white stripe. Above that black belts have there own ranking system. Thank you for reading about the ranking system.
