Good luck!

Can you explain to me why there is the "recommended", and then the "decided" testings? It makes no sense to me to have to test twice. Either you are, or you're not, promoted. Do you have to pay for both tests?

Why there are two at this level, I am not sure. I don't like it that much, either, but oh well. Basically, the recommended is a probationary period, and after you get the decided rank, you also earn instructor certification. As part of the deal, it is required to be doing some teaching in some capacity or other, of which I have plenty of experience. I do have to pay for both tests. The testing is basically physical requirements; forms, one-steps, sparring, board breaking.
