Should I Grade? Taking an examination is a privilege gained through training and a personal decision that should be based on your own development and confidence.

• Examinations for Yellow, Orange and Green belts require a minimum of 3 continuous months of training between grading.
• Examinations for Purple and Brown belts require a minimum of 6 continuous months training between grading.

Eligible students must pre-register for the examination by completing and submitting, with payment, the TKIC Examination Form.

TKIC Examination Fees are as follows:

• $35.00 for students examining for: 8 kyu (yellow), 7 kyu (orange) belts
• $50.00 for students examining for: 6 kyu (green), 5 & 4 kyu (purple) belts

Ranking Examination results will be announced during the last class of the session on Monday, June 26. This will be a joint class for all students from 6:30-8:00 pm. We will be holding a basic self defense class, outside, at St. Vital Park (Weather permitting).  Students are welcome to invite friends and family.
