What’s the difference between Poom and Dan for Black Belts in (WT) Taekwondo?

1 min read

When someone is promoted to Black Belt in (WT) Taekwondo, they will either be a 1st Poom or 1st Dan. It all depends on the persons age.

Very simply if the black belt is under 15, they will be referred to as a 1st Poom. And if the black belt is over 15, they will be referred to as a 1st Dan.

Similarly, when they get there next black belt, they will be either a 2nd Poom or 2nd Dan. Again it just depends on their age.
