Testing requirements have been developed as a combination of the
requirements found at our instructors' home schools. The specific
requirements depend on the rank you are testing for but may
include performing marching series techniques, two or three forms,
sparring, self-defense and board breaking. All testing requirements are
cumulative and students are fequently asked to perform skills required
of lower ranks.
Testing is held on Saturday of 10th week in each quarter and
the fee is $10.00 for all ranks. The fee includes
your belt
and boards.
If you are thinking about testing it is best to attend at least 15
classes in the preceeding quarter (30 are offered) and to ask the
instructors if they think you are ready for promotion.
*** As previously explained, the University of Chicago Taekwondo Club is not
currently affiliated with any officiating Taekwondo organization. This
means that ranks received at this club do not have to be automatically
recognized by another club if a student wishes to continue their
training elsewhere. If you are leaving the University and joining a
club elsewhere our Instructors would be happy to write a letter of
reference explaining your unique training background.
