Congrats:

First, congratulation to our newest white belt KayLee Scott
 
Belt Test Information:
The end of the semester belt test is scheduled for Sunday, April 23rd followed by a club potluck dinner. If you plan on participating and being evaluated for the next belt ranking please let me know either in person or via email by April 9th so that I make sure to order enough boards and supplies. 
 
Tentative Belt Test Schedule:
  • 10:00am – 10:45am warm-ups and basic kicks
  • 10:45am – 12:15pm lower belt testing (white, yellow, green)
  • 12:15pm – 12:30 [time permitting black belt demonstration/board breaking]
  • 12:30pm – 2:00pm higher belt testing (high green and higher)

Fee
The belt testing fee is $10 and this can be paid in cash, check or electronically on the day of the test. The fee covers boards, belts, and other testing items. If you are re-attempting for the same belt level there is no fee required.

Other Belt Test Items:
Please review the techniques for each belt rank that will be evaluated during the test on the club website: http://publish.illinois.edu/tkd-illinois/belt-ranks/. Also, everyone that is testing should review the rules, the Korean terminology (click here for rules on our website) and have a favorite technique prepared. You should be able to demonstrate your favorite technique on both sides. If you are testing for Blue Belt level or Red Belt level you need to email me a short essay about “What being blue belt / red belt means to you” prior to the test.

Spring 2017 Apparel Available Next Week:
Our apparel order was placed over spring break and will arrive next week. Prices t-shirts $13, long-sleeve $16 and hooded sweatshirt $28 can be paid to me either via cash or electronically. If you didn’t get to place your order before spring break and still want apparel just let me know as there were a few extra items ordered.
