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 Perform all three 1st Dan patterns
 
Ø Special technique a jumping technique with multiple strikes, e.g. 2 or more targets to hit whilst the student is in the air (kicks)
 
Ø The student will need to 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 3 x sparring rounds
 
Ø Theory - essay or project entitled "The benefits of Tae Kwon-Do" to be presented to the examiner at least 2 days prior to their 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
