Sword style creation


After 5th Dan level, some highest level of sword styles such as Eum-Yang Gumbup (the Dark and the Bright, Yin and Yang in Chinese pinyin), Tae-Geuk Gumbup (the Great Ultimate, Taiji in Chinese pinyin), Ssang-Gum Bup (Two swords techniques) can be learned depending on the person's condition.


Note: It takes about 3 months to finish each color level. At the end of each color level, members should pass a promotion test in order to go for next color level.
Usually it takes about one year to get 1st Dan black belt. However, for a beginner without other martial art experience, it may take more than a year to finish all the color levels.
To be promoted from 1st Dan to 2nd Dan, it also takes about one year but after 2nd Dan black belt level, the period of time for next level depends on how much the person practice and exercise.
