Rank & Test Requirements

Hwa Rang Do® is a Graduate program and all students must finish the Tae Soo Do® Program. When a student receives a Black Belt rank in Tae Soo Do® , then the student may start Hwa Rang Do® as a Yellow Sash. It is rare at our West Coast Headquarters, but we do allow some experienced black belts in other systems to start with Hwa Rang Do® without having to finish Tae Soo Do®. However, they must start as a Hwa Rang Do® White Sash.
