White Belt Testing & UI Con Demo

White Belt Testing Opportunities

Starting the week of February 5th, the last 10 minutes of class will be reserved for any new student who wishes to take a white belt test. The white belt test is a brief physical test followed by questions. If you are a new student who can comfortably demonstrate the first form, Chun Gi, and know the school rules and native Korean exercise counting, you are ready to take the white belt test. A uniform is then ordered for all new white belts.
