Student Study Cards
These study cards list knowledge and demonstration requirements for advancement to the next rank. On the back of the card you can keep track of your attendance and have an instructor or assistant instructor "sign off" on individual requirements.
Hyung (Forms)
Proper demonstration of forms required for each rank are available on the San Kil Tang Soo Do website via YouTube. For a written description see the Hyung tab above.
Essay Requirements
Studying martial arts is not all kicking and punching. The founder of Tang Soo Do, Hwang Kee, encouraged all of his students to become warrior-scholars. We continue this tradition by asking that students write about their experiences in martial arts as a means of examining the Art and themselves.
Listed below are the essays required to advance in rank (i.e. White Belts will write their first essay on "Why I decided to study Tang Soo Do" to advance to Gold Belt). Essays should be handed in prior to the test date (one copy) and emailed to SBN Gilliland. If you have failed to turn in a previous essay (or previously received a double promotion) you should provide additional essays for the missing topics. Don't forget to include the title, your name and test date on your essay submission.
Note to Parents: If your child is still learning to write, you can "interview" them about the subject and record their responses.
