It's easier to poke holes in an idea than think of ways to fill them. And it's easier to focus on the 100 reasons you shouldn't do something rather than the one reason you should. "Wendy Kopp" thanks for your support - be sure to subscribe for more gradings :)

Great question. There are several reasons for a new belt. A 1st Poom ( under age) will go from a Red/Black Belt to a full Black, whereas some out grow their old belt and request a new Belt while others take the option of simply obtaining an additional Belt and some want to keep their original. Hope that answers your question. Thank you

I hope you mean that in the truest sense of the word, that I will agree with.

We are pleased to hear that Training has a positive affect on your life. Keep chasing your goals and reach for the stars, you will be unstoppable.

I tried to go back after 37 years as a red belt and they told me I would need to start over because was gone too long. It doesn't make sense since I spent 4 years going through all the tests to make it there so I put in my time. So I'll probably move onto something else now. Such as life I guess.

@@Bob-uz4ov that is strange that they’d not let you start back at your rank. I stopped as a green belt with one stripe back in 87… I started back as a white belt for an assessment week but after a couple of days I was given my green belt. I did however start back at my original Dojang from the 80’s and my Grand Master remembered me since I got back in touch back in 2007. Did you start at a new Dojang??

@@raven69600 yeah, the Grandmaster was even an assistant to my old instructor in my old school. Same style with same forms with some modifications. It's a mixed class where everyone pairs off so I don't really understand the issue. I would be okay taking longer to get up to speed. I would be in no hurry for black since I passed it up the first time many years ago. He recalled my old instructor and all my certificates were signed by his Grandmaster. He just said the gap of time was too long. It sounded like it had something to do with not remembering the forms being that long. But I did pay my dues to be at the rank I'm at and I'm disappointed that wasn't considered more. I certainly don't remember what I did. But I still have the abilities - though a bit rusty in some aspects.

@@Bob-uz4ov that is unfortunate. The new person in charge seems to have a closed mind when it comes to a persons abilities… I’d train in another discipline in the meantime to add another tool to your arsenal… that’s what I’ve done over the years.

Yes, we mainly focus on both Palgwe & Taegeuk but also touch on Hon Forms. I appreciate that you noticed. Thanks for your feedback.

@@powerwithpurposetaekwondos752 it's interesting because most WT sanctioned or Kukkiwon accredited schools teach Taeguk poomsae exclusively and maybe Palgwe as supplementary but don't dabble in Chang Hon. Did your Dojang start as an ITF school through say the Oh Duk Kwan then transitioned to the WT / kukkiwon? I respect schools that take the time to learn or at least appreciate the other styles of TKD such as the ITF or the ATA even though they are aligned to the kukkiwon. A lot of Politics in today's TKD.

Thanks for your question. We run a marking system where the average is "C" and "B" above and "D" below average. "A" is exertional whereas an "F" fails. They need 3 "F's" to fail the entire test. Their success and faults are recorded and sent to them after the grading . They can then approach their assessor to see how to improve their techniques.

Thanks for the question. Our gradings always run in belt group and we try to match the same belt levels. However, if we have and adult or teenager we will then get someone of equivalent size. Even a Black belt if needed.

Thanks for the question. In regular training yes , all belts will move from student to student
