How to get double grading for Taekwondo grading?

Answer 1

 Hey,

 

It IS possible to double grade, I did it from yellow to green and others in my club have done it from blue to red.. however that was a one off and those two were super talented (one of them is now ranked among the top 5 in the country!!)

Ask your instructor! He/She can organize it with the grading panel. They will be looking for above average speed and power anc fluidity of movement. Consistancy is key also, your left and right legs will be very diferent at this early stage of your training so work on which ever is worse to try and even them out.

Stretch like you've never stretched before!! Flexibility is key to strentgh and speed.

Oh.. and yell at every opportunity (approprate of course). When you come upto the pad/block to demonstraig a kick, when you contact the kick and when you land (and go back into fighting stance!! Guard up and look the pad holder square in the face!!)

Hope this helps, good luck!

Jonny.
