Belt Promotion Tests – Changs Taekwondo

Hello everyone, can you believe it’s almost september! Hopefully you are having an amazing summer, and ready to get back into the swing of things with September almost here. We would like to take some time to talk about ourBelt Promotion TestsEvery month we stop what we are doing and we test all our students to gauge their progress with their Belt Level. Once students have 2 Black Stripes, we spend the third month preparing them for a belt test and promotion to a new belt level! Here’s how it works:0 Black Stripes (First Month):You have just received your new belt and are learning your new poomsae, kicking combination and board breaking. You are also upgrading your new techniques! The expectations here are that you know half of your poomsae well enough. We are not expecting perfection.1 Black Stripes (Second Month):Alright, so you’ve had your belt for a month now, we can now expect that the first half of your poomsae is more polished, and you have a basic understanding of the second half of your poomsae. Your kicking combination and board breaking should also be coming together nicely.2 Black Stripes (Third Month):Now we are getting serious! You’ve got a firm grip on your poomsae, your kicking combination should be phenomenal and your Board Breaking should be ready to break a board!So now that you’re ready to break your board, let’s see what you have to do next. We host our Belt Promotion Ceremony at our Main school in South Surrey.The Test usually runs between 45 minutes and an hour. During the ceremony you are given a board, and you have to write your Name and your Bad Habit on the physical board itself. The Bad habit can be anything from “Watching to much iPad” to “Not listening to my parents.”Once everyone is ready, we begin and call you up in small groups to break your board in front of Grand Master Chang, and Master Chang. Once you have broken your board, you receive your new Belt and your Certificate!During the Ceremony we also have a mini class for your parents and siblings. Usually followed or preceded with a CDT (Chang’s Demonstration Team) presentation.It is a great experience for our students, a moment of personal growth. We strongly encourage all Students from Chang’s Taekwondo Martial Arts Schools in South Surrey, Cloverdale, Tsawwassen and Aldergrove to be present!2 Week TrialAre you new to martial arts or have a friend that would like try out?Get a 2 Week Trial and Free Uniform, CLICK HEREChangs Taekwondo Locations.South Surrey/White RockTsawwassen/DeltaCloverdale/LangleyAldergrove/Abbotsford
