How To Earn Your Black Belt


To earn a Black Belt in Tang Soo Do, prioritize consistent, dedicated training; focusing on physical fitness, mental discipline, and proper technique while also building a strong relationship with your instructor(s) for guidance. Patience and perseverance are key, as the journey can be a long one involving a holistic development of the student beyond just physical ability.
  1. Train Consistently And With Purpose
    • Attend Classes Regularly. Make class attendance a priority to keep your knowledge and techniques fresh and show your commitment.
    • Focus on Proper Technique. Without a qualified instructor's guidance, it's easy to practice bad habits. Listen carefully to your instructor(s) to ensure you are performing techniques correctly.
    • Develop Physical Attributes. Train your strength, flexibility, and endurance to meet the demands of the curriculum and testing.

  2. Cultivate The Mental Aspect
    • Discipline and Spirit. Authentic Tang Soo Do emphasizes spirit, discipline, and attitude - not just technical skill.
    • Patience and Perseverance. The path to Black Belt can be long and challenging, with many people stalling at intermediate levels. You must have the will to continue despite difficulties.
    • Mental Preparation. Visualize, meditate, and practice mental techniques to build confidence and improve your performance during tests.

  3. Communicate And Connect With Your Instructor(s)
    • Build a Strong Relationship. Your instructor(s) are your coach(es) and guide(s). Open communication is essential for addressing your individual needs and progress.
    • Seek Guidance. Don't be afraid to ask your instructor(s) for advice on your next steps or how to improve.

  4. Understand The Process
    • It's a Holistic Journey. Earning a Black Belt is a holistic process of developing the student's physical, mental, and spiritual aspects.
    • Long-Term Commitment. Reaching black belt takes years of consistent training and dedication, with the average being around four years in some systems.
    • Beyond the Official Test. The official Black Belt test is often a formality; you have likely already proven your readiness through consistent effort and mini-tests in class.

  5. Train Smart
    • Practice at Home. Supplement your training by focusing on physical fitness at home, but always prioritize proper technique when practicing.
    • Be Prepared to Overcome Obstacles. Life events can disrupt training. Develop the discipline to adapt, organize your training, and continue your journey.
