3rd Dan requirements?

[Bretty101]

So what are the requirements for 3rd dan? (i'm intersested in ITF tho would be interested in WTF!)

 

I've been told I can learn 4 patterns if i want to but officially need to know 3 as one of the patterns was taken out of the 3rd dan syllabus for being too difficult and was put back in for later gradings (5th/6th dan?). I should really do my homework and find out which one.

 

Cheers

The 2nd to 3rd Dan patterns are Eui-Am, Choong-Jang and Juche. The fourth pattern you refer to is called Ko-Dang, which was replaced by Juche several years ago.

 

I believe the USTF/ITF allows Ko-Dang to be performed at grading instead of Juche for students over 35 years of age or with physical problems or disabilities.
