Taekwondo, from white belt to testing day

Testing cycles are the calendar

Taekwondo tends to promote more often than most arts, which means testing is not an occasional event but the rhythm of the year. Eligibility usually depends on time in grade and classes attended — both of which the system already knows, so the eligibility list can be produced rather than assembled. Geup and dan ranks are held natively, with the promotion date and the grade awarded on the member's record.

Testing fees, gear and gradings on one card

A testing fee, a new belt, a sparring kit and a tournament entry can all land in the same month. Each is a one-off charge against a member who already has a payment method on file, so none of them require a separate payment link, a cash tin or a chase. What was collected, from whom, and for what, is a report rather than a memory.

Two programmes, one member

Poomsae and sparring frequently run as different classes with different attendance patterns, and a competition squad often trains on top of a general membership. Enrolments are separate from the membership, so a member on the standard rate who also trains with the squad is one record with two enrolments — not two memberships or a note in a comment field.

Questions we get asked

Can we run belt testing for several locations at once?

Yes. Eligibility can be drawn across locations, and the testing event, the fees and the results are recorded per member regardless of which site they normally train at.

Do parents get their child's grading history?

Every promotion is stored with its date, so a member's full progression can be produced at any point — useful at testing time and when a family moves and asks for a record.
