What type of test i have to pass to get taekwondo red belt?

i am a taekwondo white belt and want to get a red belt. what is the test that i have to give and at what cost|||Depending on your school%26#039;s affiliation, there is a curriculum you must master in order to obtain a red belt.





For WTF schools, a red belt is a %26quot;1st Guep%26quot;. The next step is black belt. Unless you have prior martial arts training in another style, you cannot skip up to red belt. You start as a 10th Geup (White Belt), and work your way up to 1st Guep (Red Belt).





Again, for WTF, you would have to know the Tae Guk Poomse (Forms) 1-8, as well as demonstrate an understanding of basic punches, kicks, stances and other requirements outlined by your school such as 1 step sparring techniqes, self defense moves, and things such as assisting in class instructution or competing in tournaments a certain number of times.





James|||Well, you can purchase a red colored belt at a martial arts supply store. My local store sells them for $6.99 USD.





If you are interested in actually earning a red belt, it will take time considering no legit school will let you advance unless you are ready. My WTF-affiliated school requires you to know a basic poomse (form or pattern), plus the first 6 Tae Geuk poomses. You will also need to demonstrate 10 one-step self-defense movements and the first couple of the black belt self-defense techniques. The breaking techniques are a 360 degree roundhouse kick and then two hand techniques. The testing fees are only $35, although I think it%26#039;s higher when you get to black belt.|||In my school, red belt is about 2.5 years after you join class, and 7 belt tests later.

If you are in TKD and are a white belt then you should be learning a set of movements that is called a Patten. This is what give your instructor the insight to see if you can move on to the next belt and Patten. There are different types of Pattens all the way up to red belt and black belt. You should also expect to show that you are capable enough to preform kicks, punches and blocks that are judged within your range of ability at the time.





You should also be expected to show that you can free spar at a sufficient level and might even be called upon to explain why you used that kick or punch and not another one and how you would counter a attack so that it would leave you opponent open for a counter-attack. These test are some of the things that you might have to do if you want to get to red belt and hopefully black. But don%26#039;t be worried your instructor should give you the nod when he thinks that you can preform well enough to make the grade.





Good luck skill, time and effort will get you there.





For I love you (and I do love you) I don%26#039;t think that your test would have lasted 4 hours, it might of felt like that thou.|||spar with red belter.|||I am not totally positive, but to the best of my knowledge Red belt is the step below black belt in most TKD schools. Does your school only have three belts? White, Red, and Black. If you are truly in a class it should have the testing requirements laid out for you somewhere, or this would be a better question for your instructor.





Erodz- thanks for letting us all know what a bad *** you are. I hope I neeeveeer meet you on the street.|||ok, you still have a LONG way to go. It took me about three years to get my red belt. My test for red belt was about 4 hours long and I was the only one testing. Get to know the basics, before you even think about red belt.|||Completely depends on which type of TKD you are doing. As mentioned the WTF style has red as the pre-cursor to black, while in ITF its second with black stripe the step before black. Therefore the WTF grading is quite indepth and full on, while the ITF one is more of a step in the ladder. My ITF grading probably took 20-30 minutes, it included a variety of patterns, free sparring, board breaks, break falls and random line work. It did not have a great fitness requirement which I believe the WTF grading does.|||why do you people worry about getting belts what freakin matters is if you can fight or not. blue belt, yellow belt, black belt that **** goes out the window when you fight someone like me. I went up against a black belt in taekwando and kicked his *** all over the ring. I personlly dont have any belts and dont care to get any. my phylosophy is learn to fight on your own is the best way. not the amount or color of belt.|||You have to look at a picture of paris hilton for 10 minutes without throwing up!
