COLOR BELT PHILOSOPHY:

The philosophical interpretation of the Red Belt is:

"The sun is setting. The first phase of growth has been accomplished."

The first day (the period of time from White to Red belt) of growth is coming to an end. The physical skill has been developed, but lacks control; therefore, physical and mental discipline must now be achieved.

 

FORM

Segments break down: 2 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 5 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 5 - 3 - 3

 

Choong Jung Ee Jahng (2) has 46 movements and its Ki-haps are on the 11th movement (right palm heel strike), the 21st  movement (left reverse hook kick), and the 31st movement (left horizontal elbow).

 

BOARD BREAKING - Evidence of Power

 

GENERAL: Recommended Red Belts (1R) testing for Decided Red (1D) should do their board breaks, successfully, in class prior to receiving permission to test. However, it is MANDATORY that students testing for Black Belt ranks (including 1st Recommended Black Belt) perform their board breaks at a formal testing as well as their other requirements (i.e. form, sparring).

 

TECHNIQUE REQUIREMENTS:

1. Reverse Palm Heel, Round Kick (High section #1, #2 or #3)

2. Reverse Elbow, Jump Side Kick (High section)

 

MID-TERM REQUIREMENTS:

Students should refer to their Instructor for possible Mid-Term testing requirements.

 

NOTE: Red Belts must have knowledge of all material. All material must be performed correctly. 1R red belts must have at least 21 classes to test. 1D red belts must have at least 21 classes to test. All Red belts must have a proper uniform for testing. A proper uniform consists of a clean and pressed uniform with lettering on the back and patches on the front. All upper ranks must exhibit martial arts attitude with high spirit and motivation.


One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.
