Breaking
requirements for promotion to 6th Geup Low Green Belt:
For promotion to 6th Geup Low Green Belt, testing
candidates are required to perform several breaks consisting of a combination of both hand and foot, attacks and blocks, while using both the right
and left sides. The candidate will be required to perform both power breaks and technique breaks. These breaks will be selected from those suggested to the test board by the testing candidate from the list below, and/or
will be breaks specified by the test board.
The student may choose any two (2) techniques from the list below as suggestions for their breaks
at testing. These choices must include one (1) power foot break, and one (1) power hand break.
The test board has the prerogative to choose alternative breaks for the testing candidate
from among any of the breaking requirements for 7th geup High Yellow Belt and below. Therefore,
it is possible that the testing candidate may perform more than two (2) breaks – which may
also include replacement breaks other than those suggested to the test board.
The testing
candidate must choose techniques from those that they are most familiar with. Additionally, they should
completely understand the correct execution of those techniques. Therefore, the techniques to be suggested
to the test board will consist of the punches, blocks, thrusts, strikes and kicks learned for their promotion to 7th Geup High Yellow Belt. These techniques will be executed from the specific stances in patterns or
kicking instruction from which they were learned. Depending on the type of technique and the form of its
execution, a particular break can be considered a Power break or a Technique break (for
options for a particular technique, please discuss with your instructor). For promotion to 6th Geup Low Green Belt, the
possible choices for techniques to be suggested to the test board are:
Side Turning Kick
(lead leg, lead leg in a stepping motion) – Power/Technique
Back Piercing Kick - Power
Skip Side Front Kick - Power
Skip Side Piercing Kick -
Power
Flying Front Kick (from a Walking
Stance) - Power
Walking Stance High Front Punch with the Forefist (obverse) - Power
Walking Stance Rising Block with the Outer Forearm (obverse) – Technique
L-Stance
Middle Guarding Block with the Knifehand – Technique
L-Stance Block with a Twin Forearm –
Technique
L-Stance Side Strike with
the Knifehand (reverse - outward) - Power
Additional, or alternative breaks requested BY the test board may include ANY breaking requirement listed for 8th Geup Low Yellow Belt or
7th Geup High Yellow Belt – the testing candidate may choose to use either their right or left side for these breaks. It
may also include breaking with ANY technique listed as a requirement for promotion to 9th Geup High White
Belt – the
test board will decide whether the student breaks with their right or left side for these breaks.
It is also
expected that skill will increase as the testing candidate matures in size and/or rank. Therefore, it is
assumed that techniques chosen by the test board from previous rank breaking requirements would most likely involve an increase
in the number of boards.
