The ranking system in Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen originally was based on only two ranks, white sash, signifying beginning, purity and innocence, and black belt, signifying knowledge, mystery and humility. A practitioner of Tulen is not measured by the rank or the color worn around their waist but by their “heart” – the love and devotion they show for the art – and by the compassion they show towards others.
