Shedding Light on the Taekwondo Grading Process

How often should I grade?

Taekwondo is not like other sports and activities, we don’t get to perform or show skills very often. The grading is the only time a student gets a chance to “shine”. As the club instructor who has seen thousands of student gradings, I believe that students should be grading every three months. That means that all blue belts and red belts grades should be training at least two classes per week to qualify for the grading attendance criteria.

Some parents may not see a student improve from one grading to the next but the student’s progression of spirit and confidence is so often overlooked. These are the real reasons the students are practicing Taekwondo.

What techniques should I train?

Go to the Downloads page and download the Wolves Taekwondo Grading Syllabus (for all Junior & Senior Grades). Look up your current grade and practice the corresponding techniques listed for your grade level. Also remember, researching Taekwondo is part of your development and I encourage all students to source out any information to help them obtain their Black Belt.
