TNT Kungfu School’s Grade Kungfu series is designed in nine levels with five sash colours. The five sash colors are based on the traditional Chinese Doctrine of the Five Elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each element is represented by a colour. Wood is green. Fire is red. Earth is Brown. Metal is Gold. Water is Black. The sequential order of the colours are determined by the characteristics of each and the interactive relations among the five elements. You can read more about their characteristics and their relations in my Master Degree. Click here to read the thesis.
