Columbus Tang Soo Do Academy

Testing will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2009. Here’s all the information you will need for the big day:

When/Where/Directions

Youth Testing will begin promptly at 12:30PM. We suggest students arrive no later than 12:00 in order to walk from the garage, change, fill out any lingering paperwork and get used to the training room. By 12:20, we will begin warming up the children for the test.

Adult Testing will begin promptly at 1:30 PM. We suggest students arrive no later than 1:00 in order to walk from the garage, change, fill out any lingering paperwork and get used to the training room.

The testing will take place at The Ohio State University RPAC center, room A200. The easiest place to park is in the Neil Avenue Parking Garage for $3.00. Here are directions showing how to get to the Neil Ave. Garage from the Y.

Students from Buckeye Tang Soo Do will be at the different exits, pointing you in the right direction.

What do I need to know?

All students are responsible for knowing the material on their rank sheet. Each section is graded on a percentage basis. Students may be asked to think outside of the box and apply their knowledge in a new and challenging way. Show good spirit and do your best!

What do I need to bring?

All students should bring their uniform and Gup manual. Children will not spar at this exam, but adults should bring their mouthpiece, and any additional protective gear they wish to use.

How Much does it Cost?

The cost for testing is $25.00 and it is due by the day of the test. Please see me if you need to make alternate arrangements.

Last thing…

RELAX! If this is your first testing, just be ready to do your best and show your best spirit. You aren’t expected to know everything or do everything perfectly. All of the graders started just like you, and they remember their first test very well. Make sure you are well hydrated and have a good dinner the night before!

Tang Soo!!!
