Black Diamond Taekwondo Testing

PROMOTION TEST GUIDELINES

Testing is an exciting time for each student to exhibit his/her new talents, skills, and achievements

in Taekwondo as well as scholastically. It is also a time when students who are deemed ready by

their instructor(s) are given the opportunity to advance to the next level.

Testing is a natural process of setting goals and achieving them. Each student is expected to

earnestly seek the privilege of being able to test and should accept this privilege whenever the

opportunity is given. A testing opportunity should not be refused by a student without a good reason.

Students should always invite their family/friends to come and watch the test and belt ceremony.

Parents and family should be especially supportive at this time and should make every effort to attend

the test and to help their student prepare for it.

By doing this, no student is ever put forward for promotion if he/she is not ready to promote to the next level.
