In WILL Taekwon-DO, we are following the MGTF(GTF) rank system, the promotional scale is devided into 19 ranks. There are 10 grades(Gup) and 9 degrees(Dan). The coloured belt scale begins with the 10th grade, the lowest, and ends at the first grade. The black belt scale starts with the first degree and end with the ninth degree.
In the degree scale, the number 9 was chosen because it was the highest single digit number. It is also the number 3 multiplied by 3. In the orient, the number 3 carries high esteem. In China the number 3 is written as three horizontal lines, one above the other. The upper line symbolizes heaven, the middle line symbolizes mortals, and the bottom line symbolizes the earth. Also, in regards to the number 3, the degrees are devided into three distinct groups. The first through third degree are novice stages of the black belt, the fourth through sixth represent puberty while the seventh through ninth degree represent mastery of the art.

WILL TAEKWON-DO MANAGEMENT RANK SYSTEM
PRESIDENT
(LEVEL 9)
The Master or the Fouder of the Group or Organisation.
GENERAL
(LEVEL 8)
LIEUTENANT
(LEVEL 7)
(LEVEL 7)
(UK: /lɛfˈtɛnənt/, US: /ljuːˈtɛnənt/ or /lɨfˈtɛnənt/,Abbreviated Lt, LT, Lieut and LEUT)
Lieutenant may also appear as part of a title used in various other organisations with a codified command structure. It often designates someone who is "second-in-command," and as such, may precede the name of the rank directly above it. For example, a "lieutenant master" is likely to be second-in-command to the "master" in an organization utilizing both such ranks.
CHIEF COMMANDER
(LEVEL 6)
Commander is a naval rank which is also sometimes used as a military title depending on the individual customs of a given military service. Commander is also used as a rank or title in some organizations outside of the armed forces, particularly in police and law enforcement.
Commander is a rank used in many navies and some air forces but is very rarely used as a rank in armies (except in special forces where it designates the team leader). The title (originally "master and commander") originated in the 18th century to describe naval officers who commanded ships of war too large to be commanded by a Lieutenant but too small to warrant the assignment of a post-captain, or (before about 1770) a sailing-master; the commanding officer served as his own Master. In practice, these were usually unrated sloops-of-war of no more than 20 guns. The Royal Navy shortened "master and commander" to "commander" in 1794; however, the term "master and commander" remained (unofficially) in common parlance for several years.[1] The equivalent American rank Master Commandant remained in use until changed to Commander in 1838. A corresponding rank in some navies is frigate captain. In the 20th and 21st centuries, the rank has been assigned the NATO rank code of OF-4.
MAJOR
(LEVEL 5)
Major is a rank of commissioned officer, with corresponding ranks existing in almost every military in the world.
When used unhyphenated, in conjunction with no other indicator of rank, the term refers to the rank just senior to that of an Army captain and just below the rank of lieutenant colonel. It is considered the most junior of the field ranks. In some militaries, notably France, the rank is referred to as commandant, while in others it is known as "captain-major". It is also used in some police forces and other paramilitary rank structures.
When used in hyphenated or combined fashion, the term can also imply seniority at other levels of rank, including "general-major" or "major general", denoting a mid-level general officer, and "sergeant major", denoting the most senior NCO of a military unit.
It can also be used with a hyphen to denote the leader of a military band such as in pipe-major or drum-major.
CORPORAL
(LEVEL 4)
The rank of corporal nominally corresponds to commanding a section or squad of soldiers. However, in the United States Army, but not the U.S. Marines, a corporal is usually a fire team leader or second-in-command of a squad of soldiers.
In most countries which derive their military structure from the British military system, it is a more senior rank than that of private. However, in several other countries, such as Canada, Italy and Norway, corporal is a junior rank, indicating a more experienced soldier than a private, and also on a higher pay scale, but having no particular command appointment corresponding to the rank; it is similar to the U.S. Army's "Specialist".

BELT SYSTEM
There are six orders of belts: white, yellow, green, blue, red, and black. The colours have not been arbitrarily chosen. They are, in fact, steeped in tradition. The colours of black, red, and blue denote the various levels of hierarchy during the Koguryo and Silla Dynasties.
White: Signifies innocence, as that of a beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwon-Do.
Yellow: Signifies the earth from which a plant sprouts and takes root as the Taekwon-Do foundation is being laid.
Green: Signifies the plant's growth as the Taekwon-Do skill begins to develop.
Blue: Signifies the heaven, towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Taekwon-Do progresses.
Red: Signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise control and warning the opponent to stay away.
Black: Opposite of white, therefore, signiflying the maturity and proficiency in Taekwon-Do. It also indicates the wearer's imperviousness to darkness and fear.
