Hosts and Examiners are responsible for providing a well organised, fair and transparent testing experience for candidates.

High Technical Standards and Assessment

Clubs and Masters conducting promotion tests do have slightly different training and assessment methodology based on their historical Taekwondo roots.

Candidates and their Instructors should always check with the Lead Examiner of a promotion test in advance, what the testing syllabus and assessment criteria will be to ensure a fair and transparent experience.

Following Kukkiwon basic requirements, an assessment based on the performance and quality of Poomsae (Forms), Basic Technique and Kyorugi (Sparring) must be the base line requirement.

Other testing criteria, such as step sparring and breaking can be included, if the Lead examiners and/or club host wishes, and has communicated these requirements to candidates well in advance of any test.

The UK Kukkiwon Office is developing a range of technical guidance for instructors and examiners to help establish good quality and common standards across the UK.
