At World Champion Taekwondo, black belts take a level test every 6 months between their dan gradings. A dan grading is when a black belt becomes a 2nd degree black belt or a 3rd degree black belt. A black belt must hold a dan grading for a certain amount of time before he or she can test for the next dan grading; for example, a black belt must hold a first degree rating for two years before he or she can test for a second degree. During the time, in order to keep students on track, learning new skills in a progressive manner, black belts take level test every six months.
My first black belt level test will be Friday, November 2, 2012 at the West Union campus. Times will be announced soon. Keep checking this page.
For my first level test I have to know Koryo, Palgwe Il Jang, Palgwe Yi Jang, nun chuck 1, nun chuck 2, nun chuck 3, nun chuck 4, nun chuk 5, and self defense. Eventually I will need to know all 8 of the palgwe forms and all 15 of the nun chuck forms.
