New students to the club participate in comfortable street clothes for the first few sessions while the student and club assess whether the student and club are a good match. Once the club and student agree that they are a good fit for each other, the student purchases their first Gi and receives a white belt.

The white belt represents innocence, a student with no prior knowledge of taekwon-do.

As a white belt, the student learns the foundational stances, blocks, kicks, and punches. These are the pieces for their first hyung or form, Chon-ji Hyung (chon-jee).
