The Belts
Each belt, after Orange belt and until Blue belt, has two possibilities after the exam, depending on the exam's exelency: RECOMENDED or DECIDED.
The latter is shown with a black stripe that is placed on one of the belts tips, and it should be shown on the RIGHT SIDE, after the belt is tied up.
After Blue belt, it is always necessary to successfully complete two exams. After the first exam the student is considered RECOMENDED, and the second exam will be a confirmation exam that will be rewarded with the DECIDED black stripe.
The exception is the Red and Black belt, which is the equivalent to a Recomended First Degree Black Belt.
Each belt has it's own adjacent philosophy, where the student's growth, as a Taekwondo practicioner is compaired to that of a Pinetree, the choosen symbol of the Songahm style, for its sustained and balanced growth, from its roots to its canopy.
