Taekwondo Belt Testing

A Belt Test Registration form must be filled out prior to any test.

In order for students to advance in rank, we have monthly belt tests.  Belt testing is a way for us to test our students and ensure that they know everything that is needed to hold their next rank.  It is suggested that a student test every two to three months in order to further their learning in the art of Taekwondo.  Usually if a student is ready to test, the master and/or instructor will suggest testing to the student.

The test is a test of the students knowledge as well as physical ability.  Students should focus on technique, not just remembering the movements.

Belt testing is usually held on a Friday (dates are always posted on the schedule).  Students are informed whether they pass or fail after the next class they attend.  There is a belt ceremony the following Friday.  Students are then awarded their new belts and promotion certificates.

We ask that all parents and students keep in mind that advancing is a process.  Please do not get caught up in the idea that you must get your black belt as soon as you can.   Being a black belt does not mean you are automatically better than the other students, nor does it mean that you are an expert in Taekwondo.  A black belt means that you have put in time and effort towards a goal.  It means that you have collectively learned what was needed to achieve that rank.  Please remember Taekwondo is NOT over when you reach Black Belt.
