Can I keep my belt rank that I got from another martial arts school?
No. All students begin as a white belt regardless of prior martial arts experience. Every martial art system is different and has different requirements for rank elevation. One exception is if you are transferring from another school that also teaches Suh Do Kwan. Speak with an instructor for more details.
It's based on rank. Every student wears a black gi (uniform), when one achieves Master, they earn a White coat, and once they achieve Grandmaster they earn a White coat with a Black collar.
