On this page you will find files in the form of grading test forms which will gives the syllabus for Kuk Sool for all grades up to 1st Dahn Black Belt for various age groups.
On further pages, over time, we will add details of the various elements which make up the Kuk Sool Syllabus.
At first glance the list of techniques, kicks, forms etc. may seem huge, but please remember that we learn it one step at a time.
Also remember that as you progress through the syllabus, you will find that many of the techniques and moves you have previous learned will be refined and given new names, or appar in a slightly different way in a new form. For this reason it is vital that you practice ALL of your skills regularly, particularly the foundation level. By doing so you will find that you automatically improve the more advanced skills that you have already learned or have yet to learn.
The age groupings are as follows:
Junior = Aged 12 or under at the time of promotion to 1st Dahn
Senior = Aged 13 and over at the time of promotion
Please note that if it is likely that at the time of your possible promotion you will be in the next age group, then it is wize to be tested at that level through all your coloured belts. This will avoid a situation where you have to spend several weeks or months "catching up" to the next age group.
Should Junior students wish to be tested on the Senior syllabus, then they may do so, with permision from their instructor, even if the above situation does not apply.
Once a Junior student reaches 1st Dahn they are awarded a 1st Dahn Certificate and a Junior Black Belt, which has a red stripe running down the centre of one side. They then have to learn the rest of the Senior syllabus and test again to reach 1st Dahn Senior level when they will be awarded a second certificate and a new "solid" Black Belt. The testing fee for the second test is reduced accordingly. They may then start learning the sylabus for 2nd dahn, which is the same regardless of age.
You will notice that the syllabus file mentions "Old" and "New" Syllabus's. This is because we have changed from the WKSA syllabus to one which tests students on both right hand and left hand side techniques. This is important because if students are not required to test on something the temptaion is not to practise it. This could have serious consequences in the event of a personal attack if you have only practised techniques from one side. The emphasis is now on quality and practicality rather than quantity of material to be learnt!
