The two dragons facing each other represent the Taekwon-Do student and their instructor. The two symbols between the dragons are the han-gul (Korean alphabet) characters representing "Integrity." The nine stars arranged in three groups of three, represent the three levels of black belt: novice, expert, and master. The total of nine stars symbolizes the nine degrees of black belt.




The single dragon patch representing the student has the same meaning as the official Logo of the YOM CHI Taekwon-Do association. Many students mistake Courtesy (Ye Ui) for Integrity (Yom Chi)




This seal represents the word Integrity, which in Mandrin Chinese is pronounced lian-chi.
In Korean, it is pronounced as YOM-CHI as shown in the double dragon logo above
