Who Can Learn?
Everyone - young or old, male or female, can learn Choi
Kwang-Do. The youngest students in our schools are three
and the oldest is over eighty!!! Family classes available for
parents who wish to train with their children.
How Often Should I Train?
How often you train is up to each individual. It is recommended
that you train at least 2 times per week minimum with a target
of 3 classes per week. Of course, everyone is different and
some get as many as 50 classes in a 2 month period of time!
What if I have a Physical Limitation? Can I still train?
Choi Kwang-Do is for everyone. Our instructors can work with
you within your limitation while in class. Of course, it is
important to consult your doctor and provide information
regarding your limitation to our instructor team.

Will I Lose Weight in Choi Kwang-Do?
With dedicated training using proper exercise and a balanced diet, you can expect to reach
your fitness and weight loss goals.
Is Choi Kwang-Do a Good Family Activity?
We find parents and children enjoy training in an activity they can all do together. In fact,
many parents that initially bring their child in for Choi Kwang-Do later join themselves and
start training.
How Do I Move Up in Rank?
Approximately every two months, students that meet their training responsibilities (know
their assignment, technical proficiency achieved, personal improvement, and attendance
requirements) are eligible for testing. The test is held either at the student's dojang
(training hall) or at a larger facility such as a gymnasium and is presided over by the Board
of Examiners - a group of highly trained instructors that grade the students and determine
their readiness to move onto the next rank.
Is There a Charge for Testing?
Choi Kwang-Do has a testing fee that is paid prior to the test. This is for a number of
reasons. For one, there are costs associated with testing (such as facility, certificate, belt,
examiner, and International Headquarters Commission fees). In addition, testing is not an
automatic result of coming to class. By not including the testing fee in the training fee, this
provides for students to work hard in preparation for the test. If they complete the
requirements, then they may sign up for the test. Students are not allowed to register for
testing until they have completed all requirements and pass
their pre-test. Finally, not every student is ready when the test comes around. It would be
unfair to include these testing fees as a part of their monthly training fee if they are not
testing. As a point to note, most martial arts that do not charge a testing fee usually
increase their training fees to account for this.
What Can Be Expected for Testing Results?
Examiner's provide comments on each area of the students' assignment they performed at
the test. These comments indicate how well the student did on each area graded. Once
the comments have been established, the Examiners provide one of three results from
their test. They can receive PASS, SPECIAL TRAINING, or RETEST. PASS indicates the
student met the requirements for each area and is ready to move onto the next belt.
SPECIAL TRAINING indicates that one or more areas require some additional training or
development. Special training still indicates that the student passed their test, they just
have some areas to address. Follow up with the student's chief instructor will be required
for the student to both understand and correct the deficiency. RETEST indicates that many
of the areas tested require enough work that the student must train to fix the issues and
then retest for the same rank they were testing for when they received the retest. There is
no additional fee associated with a RETEST result. It is important to note that RETEST is
not very common and is used in extreme instances. What is more common is for students
to receive either a PASS or SPECIAL TRAINING.
