Orange Belt - Time between Winter & Spring

Orange belt was originally added by Grandmaster Hwang Kee in 1975, this level was designed as an extra stage of encouragement and motivation.  As an orange belt you represent the time between winter and spring.  Through your training, some of your skills and potential are beginning to appear like the stalk of a plant pushing up through the snow.
