First of all, the two ends of the black belt should be embroidered with your name on one side, and the name of the organization to which you belong should be embroidered on the other side. Is the name of this organization fixed? The answer is no. According to my understanding, the name of the organization is completely free. You can embroider the name of the organization you belong to according to the actual situation and needs.
Next, let’s look at the pictures and talk, as shown in Figure 1:
This photo was taken at the World Taekwondo Competition held in 2007 at the Kukkiwon in South Korea. This is a competition that brings together South Korea and the world. Taekwondo black belt master, one of the events representing the highest technical development level of Korean Taekwondo. The clothing of the contestants is quite representative and formal.
In the picture, three young members of the Korean Taekwondo Organization - Masters Association are participating in the team Poomsae competition. The embroidered text on the Taekwondo tape is in Korean. One end of the Taekwondo tape has the trademark embroidered with his name, and the other end It belongs to the organization "Taekwondo Masters Association". Please note that there is no embroidered rank on the Taekwondo belt. It is a common practice in Korea not to embroider the rank. Except for very few cases, most Korean Taekwondo practitioners will not embroider the rank on their belts. I will continue to explain this to you later.
Let’s take a look at the second picture:
This photo is from the WTF official. In the picture is a young Korean female player. Her belt is in block Chinese script. Note that it is in Chinese, embroidered with the name of the competition she participated in. The side with the trademark is her name, and under her name, the words "Given by XXX" are written. This shows that this black belt was specially given to her by her elder (probably a teacher) for her to participate in this competition. This photo reflects two pieces of information. First, the name of a black belt’s organization can be changeable. It can even be embroidered with the name of a competition specifically for a competition. Such a black belt is in line with etiquette, and at the end of the black belt’s name Embroidering messages from elders as gifts is considered a manifestation of care and honor, which is also feasible; secondly, the use rate of Chinese characters in Korean formal occasions is still very high. It is a common practice for Koreans to embroider Chinese characters on road belts. a common practice.
The third photo is of three young and middle-aged Korean black belts during a Poomsae competition.
In South Korea, the three ranks in the picture above will definitely not be lower than fourth-dan, but you still won’t see them with the rank embroidered on their black belts. This seems to be a conventional display of humility. The content of the Taekwondo belts they wear is very simple. On one end of the Taekwondo trademark is their name embroidered, and on the other end is the Taekwondo voluntary organization to which they belong - "Mu Dehui". The text is all in Korean.
Photo 4, this is a shot of members of the Korean Taekwondo Organization-Qingzhihui taking photos with the trophies after awarding the awards. Let’s take a look at their black belt embroidery.
Among the five black belts, the names and organizations of four of them are in Chinese characters. The names are embroidered on one end of the belt, and the other part is the organization "Qingzhihui" to which they belong. rank. This picture also proves once again the widespread use of Chinese characters.
After seeing so many Korean athletes, let us turn our attention to European and American athletes. Photo 5 is taken from the official website of the World Taekwondo Federation. The shooting time was November 2007, and the location was the second world. World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships.
It is clearly seen in the photo that the name is in English letters, and the sports name "Teakwondo" and nationality "France" are embroidered on one end of the tissue. The rank is not embroidered. The embroidery content of this player is again Note that the organization can actually embroider any name without many restrictions.
Let’s take a look at the sixth photo, which is taken from the official World Taekwondo Federation.
In the photo, the older white athlete has the word "Taekwondo" embroidered very simply on one end of the organization, and his name and rank are embroidered on the other end. You can tell by counting. , is six sections. Although Korean embroidery Taekwondo ranks are not embroidered on the black belt, since there are far fewer foreigners with higher ranks than Koreans, it is much more difficult to obtain them. At this time, it seemed that she would embroider the ranks on the black belt. It’s understandable.
The seventh photo is also taken from the official World Taekwondo Federation. In the picture, the black belt embroidery around the waist of the player is in a very special red.
This photo was chosen to illustrate that in fact, black belt embroidery is not limited to yellow. Embroidery in red or other colors like the photo can also be used. This special color of embroidered black belt is generally used for comparison. Special commemorative occasions, such as large ceremonies or major competitions. The name of this player's organization is "World Taekwondo Federation" in English. This photo also illustrates two points. First, the embroidered word Taekwondo is not limited to yellow; second, it once again proves that the organization can be in any form or with any text. , it can be any information that the belt owner wants to convey.
