Updated: 3 days ago
Welcome to Han Taekwondo!
Just like running a marathon, learning Taekwondo is a meaningful journey that requires time, dedication, and patience. True progress goes beyond simply copying movements—it is built on a strong foundation of disciplined attitude, physical stamina, and refined technique.
At Han Taekwondo, our mission is to support every student’s personal growth through a structured curriculum and dedicated mentorship.
1. Han Taekwondo Quarterly Grading System
To maintain the highest standard of instruction, Han Taekwondo conducts official gradings four times a year (quarterly) in strict accordance with the rules and guidelines of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF).
[Grading Eligibility Criteria]

Fitness (체력): Sufficient core strength and physical stamina required to perform Taekwondo techniques effectively.

Poomsae (품새): Thorough understanding and precise expression of the required
forms for each belt level.
Sparring (겨루기 - Green Belt & Above): Ability to apply foundational techniques dynamically in real sparring scenarios.

2. Evaluation Criteria
Before taking the official STF Grading, students participate in a Pre-Grading Assessment at Han Taekwondo to review their progress and prepare with confidence.
