What is Grading?

At the Monash University Taekwondo Club, we hold regular gradings throughout the year to test members so they can advance through the belt levels; from a beginner’s white belt, all the way to a certified black belt.
We hold four gradings a year, each one having two sessions to suit member’s timetables and availability.

These gradings are a test of knowledge to see if a member has the necessary skills to advance to the next belt level. The test includes poomsae (a pattern or form made up of various stances, blocks, kicks and strikes), self-defence actions, set combination kicks, sparring, board breaking and Korean terminology.

Forms for Gradings

To participate in a grading, there are some things that need to be organized

• You will need to bring a grading book to the day of your grading
