Always Growing---How to Know When to Test

Belt Testing at Missoula Taekwondo Center is a constant process.  We hold tip tests monthly, colored belt tests every six weeks, and black belt tests every year.  Making a total of 38 days worth of tests each year.  All of this testing is to foster constant growth in each person's Taekwondo ability and life aptitude.  We want our students to be constantly expanding their knowledge, physical ability and their sense of self.

Tip tests are generally held the last class day of the month but not always so consistent attendance is important because it is all about showing up and doing your best.  To test for yellow--sr. red belts we encourage testing every 3-4 months (2 tests required to attain sr blue-sr red) This is a suggested time line but above all else we want to be certain all students will have a positive testing experience so please feel free to ask us if you have questions or concerns about test readiness.  Also test requirements are available online for free or at the dojang for $.50.  Poomsae sheets are $1 each and are a great tool along with the Power Poomsae DVDs.

We intend for testing to be a growing and learning process for all students and adequate preparation in consistent attendance and at home practice are the most important elements.
