At Master Yoo’s World Class Tae Kwon Do, earning a Black Belt represents the fulfillment of an individual’s physical and mental potential. This fulfillment is not easily attained, but is the result of years of hard work and perseverance. One common denominator for all Black Belts is that they found a way to meet their personal challenges and success. This develops courage and well as confidence.

The fundamental principle of Tae Kwon Do is individual self-improvement. This is why people of all ages and athletic ability can achieve a Black Belt. No matter where each student starts in terms of physical capability, or at what age they attain their black belt, it is an accomplishment to be treasured and one which will be noticed by others. For this reason all Black Belts invariably become role models.

When you receive your Black Belt, take the time to reflect on the journey you have made. Recall the challenges you have overcome. Enjoy the pride and confidence that comes with this achievement.
