Belt Ranking System

 

In class, students begin as a white belt and progress through the color belts until they reach black belt. Testing for the color belts is approximately every 2-4 months and is located at the dojang (tkd school). Students are tested over the skills they learn in class which include:

  • forms (patterns of moves)

  • lead legs/sparring (beginning with no contact and gradually increasing controlled contact as skill increases)

  • one-steps (defense off a punch)

  • line kicks (combinations of kicks and hand strikes)

  • self-defense (including stranger danger, bullying, women's self-defense)

  • board breaks (at the higher levels)

  • questions
