The meaning of the colour

Philosophy

Apart from concentrating purely on physical skills (such as balance, stability, eye/hand co-ordination, and general technical ability), Yellow belt also requires serious consideration to the psychological aspects of training - perception, awareness, assertion, and other manifestation of will-power. Be confident in your growing abilities and be decisive in your every actions.
