• Red - Black belts who have undertaken their Black Belt examinations and have passed<br />

are subjected to the following rules and conditions :-<br />

i. Certificates will be issued only after one year from the date of Grading at the<br />

discretion of the Instructor,<br />

ii. The Black Belt will undergo a 1 year probationary period after which the Instructor<br />

shall reserve the right to withhold the certificate as he/she deems fit on the<br />

assessment of the performance or behavior of the individual Black Belt,<br />

iii. Black Belts are not to be absent from training for longer than 2 months without due<br />

acceptable reasons upon which the grading results will be deemed null and void and<br />

withdrawn,<br />

iv. Black Belts are to assist the Instructor in all areas pertaining to TKD as and when the<br />

Instructor directs,<br />

v. Black Belts are to uphold at all times the strict Code <strong>Of</strong> Conduct of TKD, of the school<br />

and as taught <strong>by</strong> the Instructor.<br />

• A Junior Black is a student who is below 16 years of age. To take the 1st Dan<br />

Examination, a student must be at least 16 years of age in the year of the grading. A 1st<br />

Dan has a more difficult power-breaking exam and a much higher standard of expertise<br />

will be expected during the grading. When the Junior Black Belt student reaches the age<br />

of 16, and if he or she is mature enough and is recommended <strong>by</strong> their Instructor, they<br />

can take the upgrading examination to 1st Dan.<br />

• 9 is the highest single digit number. It is made up of 3s (3x3). In the orient, the number 3<br />

carries high esteem. The ideograph of 3 also contains 3 horizontal lines that symbolize<br />

heaven, mankind and earth. The 9 black belt groups are represented as 3 groups: (1st,<br />

2nd, 3rd Degree) - 1st Level, (4th, 5th & 6th Degree) - 2nd Level, (7th, 8th & 9th Degree)<br />

- 3rd Level.<br />
