Taekwondo is divided into ten levels and nine degrees, with the black belt being the highest level!
Black belts are further divided into nine degrees. First to third degrees are for beginners among black belts, while fourth to sixth degrees are considered high-level, known as "instructors," who are eligible to apply for international instructor and referee positions.
The World Taekwondo Federation is divided into the WTF and ITF systems. The former focuses on competitive sports, like the Olympics, while the latter emphasizes combat skills and real-life application.
Cui Zhengxuan belongs to ITF and is also a fourth-degree black belt, which means he is extremely formidable in actual combat, not just for show. In fact, even the current president of the Martial Arts Association could not withstand many moves against him before being taken down.
