Why wear a belt in taekwondo? and what is the purpose?

Question

I'm doing a report so I can test on my 1st Dan or 1st Degree Black Belt, it requires doing a 15 page report, and it's due today. I'm asking for help, this is not considered cheating because they never told me to ask on the internet. So one of the questions on the research paper that my master gave me is "What is the purpose of wearing a Belt in Tae Kwon Do?". I can search it up because I've already tried that here on yahoo search, google, and wikipidia. I'm asking is you can try getting information. and making sure if you can give me the address please.(:

Thanks.(:

Answer 1

Well one reason belts are used in tae-kwon-do is because otherwise no one would be in charge because to be in charge you must be a certain rank. http://www.ataonline.com/taekwondo/belts... has a lot about tae-kwon-do belts. Belts also symbolize how much you know. Hope I helped! :)

Answer 2

the purpose of wearing a belt in tae kwon do is to hold your pants up and to show other ppl how much money you have spent on an inneffctive style.the higher the belt the more money you have spent.
