Exams are an integral part of learning something because they provide a goal to work towards, an opportunity to perfect our abilities, and a chance to introspect and retrospect. This is especially true of martial arts, and Taekwondo is no exception. Twice each year, many Ilyeons partake in these "belt exams" to reach the next level of their Taekwondo journey.
The exams consist of the following:
Theory Exam
Display of Techniques
Taegeuks (style forms)
Ilbo Taeryon (one-step sparring)
Hosinsul (self-defense)
Other techniques for higher levels
