Yellow – Represents the first beam of sunlight which shines upon the seed giving it new strength with the beginning of new life. This symbolizes the evolutionary path of Taekwondo.
“ALL GREAT MASTERS ARE CHIEFLY DISTINGUISHED BY THE POWER OF ADDING A SECOND, A THIRD, AND PERHAPS A FOURTH STEP IN A CONTINUOUS LINE. MANY A PERSON HAS TAKEN THE FIRST STEP. WITH EVERY ADDITIONAL STEP YOU ENHANCE IMMENSELY THE VALUE OF YOUR FIRST….THAT WHICH WE PERSIST IN DOING BECOMES EASIER FOR US TO DO; NOT THAT THE NATURE OF THE THING ITSELF IS CHANGED, BUT THAT OUR POWER TO DO IS INCREASED.” ~RALPH WALDO EMERSON
