Reaching Your Goals: The Path to Black Belt

Our program offers a clear path for advancement, with regular testing opportunities to mark your progress. Here’s what to expect:

Belt Testing:

• Color Belt Testing (Yellow, Green, Blue, and Red): Students can test for promotion four times per year, by instructor invitation only. To be eligible, you’ll need to demonstrate the required knowledge and skills for your current rank.
• Testing Schedule: Tests are typically held every three months. You can expect to spend approximately one year at each belt color, with additional preparation time for higher levels.
• Black Belt Testing: Earning a Black Belt is a significant achievement. Black belt testing is by invitation only and requires a final preparation period where you’ll continue training and gain valuable teaching experience under the supervision of a senior black belt.

Here’s what you can expect in our Tae Kwon Do program:
