Testing Rules

Parents & Students: Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our testing rules and procedures. Thank you!

  1. Students MUST be up to date on tuition with BREC in order to test.
  2. Students should bring the following items with them to testing:
    • Sparring Gear (if told to do so)
    • Uniform & Belt
    • Weapon (if told to do so)
    • The folder they received on the first day of class
    • A water bottle or clear sports drink
  3. Students should arrive 15-20 minutes early to check in, stretch, and warm up. After doing so, students should sit quietly at the back of the room until called to line up.
  4. Students who arrive after we have bowed in will NOT be allowed to test.
  5. Students should answer up loudly & show good effort and Tang Soo Do Spirit during testing.
  6. Students are expected to stay for the entire test. If there is an emergency, please notify a Black Belt or one of the instructors.
  7. Please notify the instructors of any injuries or limitations prior to the beginning of testing.
  8. Students who pass will be promoted immediately following unless we run out of time. Then they will be promoted at their next class. Students who do not pass will be notified immediately after testing.
  9. If you make a mistake during testing, THAT’S OK! No one is perfect. We expect mistakes. Just keep going and give your best effort!
  10. Parents/Guardians: You are welcome (and encouraged) to invite family and friends to come and watch testing. We do ask that no food or drink (water is fine) be brought into the training room. We ask that everyone remain respectful of the testers and keep conversations to a minimum. Small children must remain seated during the test. You are welcome & encouraged to clap for a job well done!
  11. Parents/Guardians: You are welcome (and encouraged) to take photographs & videos during testing. We ask that you PLEASE tag Jackson Park Tang Soo Do if they are shared on Facebook or Instagram!
  12. Please leave our training room tidier than you found it. Please push in all chairs & pick up any trash that was brought in. Thank You!
