Gup Testing

Gup Testing is held every month for those candidates that are eligible and fulfill the time requirement (3-4 months), training requirement (twice a week on average), mental knowledge requirement (Terminology) and also the good discipline to be considered for their next rank. Each Gup level has its own minimum time, skill and knowledge requirements to qualify to test for the next level. For testing candidates, please see the Gup Testing Notice for the upcoming Shim Sa. Additionally, the Federation application form (9th Gup Candidates), community service form and the parent/teacher evaluation form require completion before the student is eligible for their next rank advancement. Considering that Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee stressed the importance of a martial artist also being a scholar, we require a copy of the candidates latest report card and/or progress report. This requirement is for students in elementary, middle and high school. Students with below average performance will not be eligible for their next rank. Academics are very important in our lives and we should put the same principles of discipline from our training into our education. All paperwork and testing fees are due per the event calendar and must be presented neat and complete. Late paperwork and fees are not accepted.
