Color Belt Testing

The UWTA follows stringent testing requirements for all of our color belt students. Strict adherence to these standards helps our students as they train, knowing that their training must remain consistent in order to meet the requirements of each belt level. We incorporate specific time in grade requirements in addition to class hour requirements.

Upon completion of your schools rank testing, we provide our member schools with a business portal for processing your students test results. Through this system we are able to; process and provide you with formal, officially printed certificates, track an individual's rank promotions, and provide a way for you to pay your testing fees online. Upon receipt of all required information and payments, we mail your certificates out quickly so that each school can celebrate their accomplishments in a timely manner.

Black Belt Testing

The UWTA follows the Kukkiwon black belt testing requirements and requires mid-term testing by all black belts. Our black belts are expected to know all of the Kukkiwon forms as well as demonstrate proficiency in self defense one-steps and board breaking. We hold testing for the rank of Black Belt and Black Belt rank promotion twice a year in October and March.

Tournaments

We conduct regularly sanctioned UWTA tournaments across all geographic areas of operation. In addition to our focus on high quality tournaments, we have worked diligently to create a comprehensive judging certification process with guidelines for running a tournament. These guidelines have been put in place by our National Vice President of Tournaments, in conjunction with the Executive board of the UWTA. Judging seminars and certification opportunities are conducted twice yearly. We expect all of our instructors to certify as a judge, and additionally, certify as a time keeper/score keeper. This insures a complete understanding of the judging processes and contributes to a well run tournament.

Our tournaments may involve all or some of the following: Poomsae, Technical Poomsae, Point Sparring, Olympic Sparring, and Board Breaking. The Olympic sparring aspect of our tournaments is judged by judges who are USAT certified.

Tournaments are held on an ongoing basis, and black belts who compete and place will be able to accumulate points towards the International Championships Final 4 competition held in October in Reno, Nevada.
