Your progression
Earn your progress through practice
A clear technical pathway grounded in consistency, confidence and correct performance.
What we look for at grading
Progression is assessed across the relevant requirements for each grade, not simply by knowing the next pattern.
Technique
Correct stances, hand positions, kicking technique and controlled movement.
Consistency
Reliable performance across fundamentals, poomsae and other required elements.
Confidence & control
Focus, composure, power appropriate to ability and an understanding of the movements.
Grading readiness is individual. Attendance, improvement and technical standards matter more than rushing to the next belt.

Poomsae is part of the journey
Patterns help develop balance, rhythm, precision and control. Students are encouraged to practise carefully and ask for guidance whenever they are unsure.
