Taekwondo titles are divided into ten students' positions (GEUP) and ten master titles (DAN). New students move from the tenth title keup (white belt), all titles to master’s DAN (black belt). Accurate color belts depends on the school and the Federation, but most school systems is the following:

10th and 9th geup: White belt
8th and 7th geup: Yellow belt
6th 5th and 4th geup: Blue belt
3rd 2nd and 1st geup: Red belt
1st DAN and higher: Black belt

Most schools also use the track (tape) to the end zone to identify stadiums in between. So the yellow band indicates the 8th geup, while the yellow belt with blue stripe indicates the 7th geup, or "high yellow belt".

Competitions in taekwondo are usually grouped by rank, so that the students struggle with opponents of similar abilities.
