Masters Grading

This post provides teaching context for the Premium video Masters Grading, showing how two Taekwon-Do Masters undertook their grading to 8th degree black belt. Grading at this level demands exceptional discipline, technical precision, and mental focus, and this video captures those elements in action.

In the session, viewers can observe not only the techniques performed, but also the mindset and execution required of high-level black belt assessments. The grading process tests the Masters across a range of skills, from patterns and technique power to control, timing, and understanding of the art’s deeper principles.

This video serves as a valuable reference for instructors and senior students alike, offering insight into the standard expected at advanced levels. Watching high-level grading provides a benchmark for both technical ability and the calm, controlled application of skills under pressure.
