Origin of the blue color
The colour blue is often equated with authority and nobility. However, it is not so much the award of a supposedly higher-ranking person (in Pahuyuth all human beings are considered equal), but rather a hint to the wearer of such a belt to deal with his status and the responsibility as a warrior and as a human being in order to advance his personal self-discovery and self-knowledge.
Blue belts are fully trained warriors in their respective disciplines, who therefore no longer have student status, but are not yet teachers.
