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 shin’s esoteric teachings, martial artists are able to channel their concentration and wisdom into a brave ‘never give up’ attitude.
