Testing
Requirements
The minimum number of classes required between white and yellow belt is thirty. Otherwise the minimum between each colored belt
test is forty.
The minimum between black belt tests is twenty. You must be prepared and know your material.
If you are uncertain about
what you’ll be tested on, please ask before the testing date. Private Lessons are encouraged, but you can also practice with fellow students.
Fees are subject to change.
The 40 class minimum between each test is to ensure quality
and to avoid favoritism. Every student should feel free to progress at
his or her own individual pace.
There is no fast track to obtaining a black belt. People
with high physical and mental aptitude will be given no special consideration
for testing eligibility and will be required to have the same minimum
of 40 classes between each belt test.
There is a black belt testing fee & administration fee. For more information about Black Belt Testing Requirements and to download a .pdf of the Black Belt Letter of Intent & FAQ page: Click here.

Student
Etiquette
Jung shin is a well-known philosophy
throughout all Korean martial arts. It translates to concentration of the mind
and spirit however, it is far more than mere concentration. It teaches
student loyalty, self-discipline, self-motivation, self-confidence, and
a sense of purpose. Basic jung shin etiquette includes bowing to the national
flag and school, and greeting instructors with the title Sir,
or their proper martial arts title.
Calling
your instructor, Sir is not meant to humble a student. Instead, it
helps remove basic fears about outwardly and verbally showing respect
to a senior classmate. When that first obstacle is removed, many other
inhibitions regarding interacting with others are also eliminated, giving
the student more self-confidence. Under jung shin principles, an instructor
becomes a guide, rather than a superior.
By combining all jung shins esoteric teachings, martial artists
are able to channel their concentration and wisdom into a brave never
give up attitude.
