This is an intensive two-month program designed to prepare students to test for their first degree black belt and above and is taught by Master Rich Arteca. They are also open to blue and black belts who want additional fast pace workouts to prepare themselves for testing later down the road. Areas covered in these classes are similar to what will be covered at a typical black belt test including both the physical and mental skills. For the physical portion of the class there is a rigorous warm-up, followed by hand, foot and hand/foot drill using multiple movements, jump kicks, forms (hyung), weapons (Bong, Dan Gum and Jang Gum), free sparring (Ja Yu Dae Ryun),one-steps (Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun), self defense techniques (Ho Sin Sul) both association standards and situational self defense, falling and breaking. The mental portion of the class includes a 100 question written exam, which will be given at various times over the two-month period.
