Eligibility Criteria
In order to be considered for the grading, we need to see a commitment to training in the weeks leading up to the grading.
To participate in the grading, all students MUST wear full Aquila Taekwondo uniform (white uniform).
Beginners (White Belts and Yellow Stripes) are almost always ready to move up to the next grade. Those with higher grades might require more time to develop skills that we assess such as advanced techniques, power, discipline, to name a few.
