Grading Requirements 2nd Star

Line Work
 
The examiners set the line work, therefore it can be anything. Here are a few examples of recent floor work.
(You will notice some of these techniques are found within the new patterns!)
 
Ø Choice Of Coloured Belt Pattern
 
Ø Choice of two 1st Dan patterns
 
Ø 4 directional special technique - e.g. 4 targets held on compass points, pads to be struck in quick succession to simulate a 4 directional attack. Multiple strikes to consist of no more than one hand technique and each technique to be different to any of the other 3.
The student if not wishing to do a special technique could perform a pattern which they have designed themselves, either to music (not more than 2.5 minutes), or without music (no more than 40 moves)
 
Ø 2 x sparring rounds
 
Ø Theory - multiple choice or 20/30 question test paper to be timed and completed at the grading.
 
  There is no set theory for black belts, if you know the move then you should know the Korean for it, with this in mind we have created a set of notes with all the new theory found within the new patterns
