PROMOTION TEST PREPARATION
testing for Blue Belt
Final decisions on testing readiness will be made by Masters Marr and Bayless. Forms will be handed out to those deemed ready starting two weeks before the scheduled test.
In order to be eligible to test for your Blue Belt, you must have completed a minimum of 30 classes before the test,
and be able to confidently demonstrate:
Demonstrate our School Rules each time you come to class and be able to recite them.
Be able to recite this definition: Taekwon-do is a Korean unarmed art of self-defense. It is not only kicking and punching, but a way of thinking and living. The main goal of Taekwon-do is to achieve total mind and body control through training. “Tae” means foot, “Kwon” means fist, and “Do” means way of, so Taekwon-do literally means “The way of the foot and fist.”
You will be asked to tie your belt properly as part of the test.
