Ranking System

Uniform

Students will wear a black wrap-around uniform with the appropriate rank belt. (Women must wear either a plain white or black t-shirt.) The International Combat Hapkido Federation (ICHF) patch will be displayed on the left chest area. A combination USA/Korea Flag patch may be worn on the left upper arm. The back of the uniform jacket will either be plain or be printed with the words

The Korean letters for Hapkido may be sewn proximal to the left lapel.

Class Schedule

Formal practice - exclusively Hapkido
    Tuesday 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
    Thursday 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Other classes may be added as need demands. Hapkido students will attend Traditional Taekwondo Classes at their personal convenience to fulfill training requirements.

Testing for Rank Promotion

When requirements have been met and the instructor approves, the Hapkido student will be eligible for Rank Promotion Testing on the same days and times as students in the Traditional program. Test requirements are specified in the curriculum. Results are certified to ICHF and rank certificates will be issued.

Tuition

Tuition for the Hapkido Program follows the same rate schedule as the Traditional Program. These Programs are considered to be 2 separate "Tracks". A student may follow a single track Program; that is, either Traditional Taekwondo or Combat Hapkido. (Training and curriculum overlap to some extent especially during the first year). The student should "declare a track of preference" at or before achieving 7th Gup - Green Belt.

A student may choose a dual track program (in which case he/she will be responsible for the requirements of each Program). A discount will be offered.

A student who is undecided about which program to choose will be directed first to the Traditional Program. The first year's experience will allow the student to make a good personal choice of direction to follow.
