Personal Achievement

Belt Gradings are an important exercise in performing what you have learned for your current rank. It is not only a test of your memory and technical skills, but a vehicle to measure personal achievement and effort. In addition, Grading builds self-confidence by working in front of an audience and in a group.

Gradings are an important exercise in performing what you have learned for your current rank. It is not only a test of your memory and technical skills, but a vehicle to measure personal achievement and effort. In addition, Grading builds self-confidence by working in front of an audience and in a group.

All ranks are markers on your journey to becoming a Black Belt. Each belt grade has requirements in order to be able to progress to the proceeding ranks.  Grading cycles vary for each student depending on a number of factors:
. The speed of concepts grasped & the technical performance
. Practice through regular class attendance and home practice
. Class behaviour, spirit, focus & attitude
. The achievement of the minimum lessons attended & the minimum time required between gradings - these minimum times can be viewed on the grading syllabus cards.
​
We are always in the act of becoming the belt that we are wearing and Once you have acquired the skills at a belt level or rank, your class instructor will recommend you for advancement to your next grade.
​
All students grade through all the ranks individually from 10th Gup - 1st Dan; students are not permitted to jump grades and all students will be advised of their grading readiness & will be invited to attend the next scheduled testing by their Class Instructor. Students can view their invitation to grade date under the student grading list section.

SHMA has made Zoom training a viable platform in which to train and develop and we have seen the advancement of students, however, Zoom should be used as an addition to in-class training whenever possible, especially students reaching Advanced belt levels. In-class training aspects increase the student's ability to fully comprehend the technique application with a training partner.  Speed, power, timing & confidence increase with an APPLIED practice of Martial Arts when adjusting to partner size, speed of attack & Style of Attack, etc.

At this time SHMA permits all students to train and grade through the Zoom platform up to and including 2nd Gup (Red Belt) Students who are scheduled to grade for  1st Gup, Cho Dan Bo & Black Belt are required to train in at least one class per week class or /and attend the Holiday Camp (minimum half days/full week or Private lessons) and use Zoom to supplement and assist with in-class training.  This in-class training requirement is to maintain the integrity of the necessary requirements of the Martial Arts & Tang Soo Do.
