WTF TKD Testing Fees


Recommended Posts

Is there an official fee structure for testing? Are there any instructors around. A school I'm looking at does charge, however the fees look rather high for belt testing. Not to mention there are several colored belts. the 12 standred plus I think 5 additional(Stripes).

I study at United TKD academy, the only school in North Carolina that has turned out olympic competitors. In fact, on of our students won a bronze in the Junior olympics in aruba last week. I train under 6th degree black belt and 2 time national coach of the year Barry Partridge

I think the BB test is about $100 for us and colored belt tests are about $30. I do know that the money from these tests is used to buy equipment as our instructors are not paid for their services.

Well, I apologize for the insulting reply earlier. However, $500 is too much. That's half my mortgage payment :roll:

I wish $500 was half my mortgage payment... :(

At the club I go to, the BB test fees are $50 for 1st Dan and $75 for 2nd Dan and higher. Very reasonable IMO.

I'd agree that $500 is pretty steep, but I'm not surprised that fees at a nationally-recognized school that has turned out olympic competitors would cost more. Now, as far as whether the cost is justified...that depends on the person paying, I guess...

I paid $250 back in 1985. $100 for the "school rank" & $150 for Kukiwon. $500 does seem a bit steep to me.

Add $5 if you want to keep the belt.

What do you think? :-?
