Hapkido at Georgia State University

(Affiliated with Chang’s Hapkido Academy, Lombard, IL.)

HOME

In order to test, each student must have the following:

1. A completed Application Form with the appropriate fees (see table below), and your promotion card if you have have one.
2. A uniform. 
3. The requisite skills – see table below. 

All new students are by default White belts (9th Kup or level). The following table lists the skills to be demonstrated to Master Chang’s satisfaction in order to be promoted to the corresponding belt level. Your attitude and spirit (Ki) are at least as important as the physical skills for passing the tests. 

Tests are typically conducted twice a year (sometime in March/April, October/November).
