If you attend classes on a regular basis, belt achievement is possible after two or three months of training. However, just because you attend classes does not mean that you will be promoted. Promotion is based on one's ability to perform the required curriculum.

 

There are no politics at Wong's Ji Do Kwan. Whatever belt you have previously earned will not be discounted and you have the choice of wearing your current belt in class. You will still need to learn the curriculum from this school and may begin testing for the next level after you satisfy the requirements of that belt rank. If you were previously an advanced student, you must begin at Wong's Ji Do Kwan in the Intermediate class. Once you have mastered the requirements necessary to achieve the advanced level at our school, you will be permitted to progress to the advanced class. An adept advanced student should only take a few months to progress to this level. Some students may require a longer adjustment period.

  

Ji Do Kwan is translated to mean "Way of Knowledge". Ji Do Kwan is a very old style that was developed from the Shorin and Shorei schools in Japan. Tae Kwon Do developed from these styles. Specifically, you are learning and enhanced combination of the Shorin and Tae Kwon Do styles with improvements made by Sensei Wong from his extensive training in other martial arts styles.

 

Yes. At the rank of Yellow Belt there is safety equipment that is necessary for controlled sparring drills. This equipment is available only through the school and includes protection for the feet, hands, groin, mouth, chest, and shins. In addition, at the rank of Brown Belt, students will need a wooden staff, and at Red Belt, they will need a par of Sai. Both items are easily available through Wong's Ji Do Kwan.
