Yellow and Green Belt Testing 12 10 22

At a promotion/rank test, or belt test, students demonstrate the skills and techniques they’ve learned. It shows students' readiness to progress to the next level and new skills.


On the path to a black belt, students have many opportunities to demonstrate their skills and understanding along the way. We have 10 belt levels, and students generally are invited to a promotion test every three months (depending on classes attended, readiness, and belt level). The promotion test invitation and testing form includes the level-specific information required for the test and is provided to eligible students as they are ready to test for the next level.


Each belt level has a specific poomsae (pronounced poom-say), a form, which is a pattern of set kicks, punches, blocks, and strikes that must be demonstrated in a specific order. In addition, techniques need to progress through the best levels, so students should demonstrate fundamental skills in their early promotion tests and show more advanced skills as they progress. Knowledge questions will be included as well as level-specific sparring requirement.

Why poomsae/forms is the greatest knowledge for martial artists? Our goal is to educate our students to be future leaders. We educate our students in all aspects of Tae Kwon Do, from the early traditional forms to the modern day Olympic forms. Forms represent one of the highest knowledge of Tae Kwon Do because you use your whole body to execute the movement. You are also fighting something invisible: yourself. Forms are the foundation to become better at sparring, kicking, using hand techniques, and to become a better Tae Kwon Do practitioner. With forms you can always practice no matter what age you are. Each student practices their own unique artistic expression of movement. Each breath, strike, and movement always in sync with your inner self and the indomitable spirit. There is never a perfect form; only a continuous practice of improvement. No matter what belt you are or what rank you are, there is no inferior form to practice. Forms test your physical ability, your mind/memory, and your focus and discipline.


You will truly know a form when you are able to teach another student every aspect of its history, art, movement, and spirit.
