The Financial Education & Growth of Our Clients
In Taekwondo, students receive different color belts as they progress spiritually and become more proficient. We liken this system to the education of our clients about how to approach retirement and its many common pitfalls.
WHITE: Beginning.
Symbolizes innocence and ignorance.
YELLOW: Learning to create a foundation.
Yellow represents the ground or earth in which the seed of knowledge has been planted and will grow.
GREEN: Experience and growth.
The color green represents the plant as it sprouts and begins to grow.
BLUE: Preparation.
The color blue represents the sky toward which the plant reaches as it matures into a tree.
RED: Danger.
The color red signifies danger, warning others to stay away and remind the student to practice self-control.
BLACK: The opposite of white.
It is the level of training where all colors merge into one. A black belt signifies proficiency and maturity in knowledge and skill.
