As you need concentration and focus to climb a mountain, so you need these attributes and more to move through the ranks of the white belt to black. As climbing one mountain leads to another, so does one belt level lead to another. As you gain experience from climbing a mountain, both good and bad, you gain experience from Ko Am Mu-Do. Nothing happens until you actually do something. This becomes the action philosophy of the martial arts. This action leads to more knowledge.
