BELT PROMOTIONS

TAEKWONDO BELT PROMOTION CHECKLIST

REQUIREMENTS

Each belt in the Martial Arts is full of meaning and philosophy. As a student advances from white belt to black belt, it symbolizes the knowledge and power the student has learned and experienced. 


Belt color signifies rank, or proficiency. The small colored bands across the end of the belt indicate the levels within each color. Students have to pass practical and theory tests to progress to the next rank. A serious student can reach black belt in two or three years.


PROMOTION TESTING

To advance from one rank to another, students will need to qualify for promotion testing. Each student is different and will promote at a pace measured by skill and not a timeline.


When a student has accomplished each of these requirements, they will be given a promotion application which will need to be filled out and turned in prior to the next available promotion testing date. 


(For what is tested at each level see the Taekwondo Belt Promotion Checklist below.)
