01 — The rankWhat this grade asks of you

Red signifies danger: it warns the opponent to stay away, and reminds the wearer to exercise control. At this rank that stops being an abstraction — the knee, the elbow, the neck line and the sweep are the first techniques you own that you cannot use on a partner at full power.

Eligibility

Minimums are not entitlements. Meeting them makes you eligible to be considered. Instructor recommendation is required in every case, and is based on standard rather than on time served.

Teaching — the leadership track opens here

You are required to teach forms to lower grades. This is usually spread across the months before a grading, but may be examined on the day. You should also be able to explain sparring technique, competition rules and terminology.

How teaching is assessed

Sessions you assist or lead are recorded in a leadership log with the ranks taught and the supervising instructor. Never alone with a group. Never alone with a child. Without exception.

You are marked on the group's safety and understanding — not on your own technique.

What the panel is looking for

Taegeuk Pal-Jang runs backwards relative to the other Taegeuk forms — it starts on the far line and finishes on the near one — and it carries the first flying front kick on the syllabus. The panel isolates the flying front kick, the pulling uppercut and the single-hand wide open block, and the two kihaps: on the flying front kick near the start and on the consecutive jump front kick near the end, nowhere else. Because the theory at this level concerns correct positioning of the body, a high level of accuracy in movement is expected. Beom Seogi, learned in Chil-Jang at 3rd Kup, must now be stable, strong and fluid at the same time.

Etiquette and hierarchy

Korean society is organised around hierarchy, and Taekwondo shows it clearly. Bow with the eyes down — keeping your eyes on the other person shows distrust, which is neither friendly nor respectful. Give and receive with both hands, or with the right hand and the left hand touching the right elbow. It is considered the height of rudeness to disobey a senior's instruction or to argue with them, whether in front of their seniors, peers or juniors.

02 — KibonHand & combination techniques

Five combinations. Five repetitions each, both sides. The examiner calls a number and you perform it without further instruction and without being talked through it — if you can only do it after a demonstration, you have not learned it.

How to read the sides

Every sequence is written left-lead — left foot forward — and is mirrored on command. Stances are named by the forward foot, so "left Ap Kubi" means the left foot is forward. In Beom Seogi the named foot is the forward, lightly weighted one. The lead hand blocks and the rear hand strikes unless a step says otherwise.

Every step names its side; techniques are given in English first, with the Korean term beside it. Combination 1 is counted in Korean — Hana, Dool, Set, Net, Dasut, Yasut — and answers a live attack: the partner throws the kick.

Practise LEFT-LEAD
Combination 1From Left-lead fighting stance Gyeorugi JunbiCounter to the roundhouse
AnswersA rear-leg turning kick Dollyo Chagi to your open side
RangeKicking range, closing to punching range
CountSix — Hana · Dool · Set · Net · Dasut · Yasut
  1. Hana — Step 45° outside the kick with the left foot into left forward stance Ap Kubi → right outer-forearm middle block Momtong Bakkat Makki cutting across the kick's line. Off the line, not backwards — retreating gives the kick its range back
  2. Dool — Left front-leg half-moon kick Bandal Chagi, 45° to the mid-section, to the ribs while their kicking foot is still landing. This is the whole window; it closes in under a second
  3. Set — Set the left foot down forward into left forward stance Ap Kubi → right reverse punch, rear hand Bandae Jireugi to the mid-section
  4. Net — Left knife-hand strike to the neck, lead hand Sonnal Mok Chigi — indicated
  5. Dasut — Right turning kick Dollyo Chagi to the open side, recovering the foot forward
  6. Yasut — Land into left-lead fighting stance Gyeorugi Junbi, hands up. Finish: right foot forward, one step ahead of where you started

The most useful thing on this rank's syllabus. The graded window is beat 2 — a counter thrown after the opponent has recovered their guard is a new attack, not a counter, and scores as one.

Fails on: stepping back on beat 1 instead of 45° off the line.

Combination 2From Right cat stance Beom Seogi with covered fist, at centre Bo JumeokEnter and leave
  1. Explosive single step in with the left foot → left forward stance Ap Kubi → right arc-hand strike Kaljaebi to the neck line — indicated
  2. Pull down sharply with the right arc hand
  3. Right knee strike, rear leg Mureup Chigi — to a held pad
  4. Disengage backward two steps into left-lead fighting stance Gyeorugi Junbi at kicking range

The only combination at colour belt that teaches how to leave close range as deliberately as entering it. Step 4 is graded — finishing in the clinch is an incomplete answer.

Combination 3From Left forward stance Ap KubiScissors block
  1. Scissors block Gawi Makki — left arm low block Arae Makki, right arm inward middle block Momtong An Makki, arriving on opposite lines together
  2. Right reverse punch, rear hand Bandae Jireugi with no reset between block and counter
  3. Cross the right foot behind the left into cross stance Kkoa Seogi → right back-fist strike Deungjumeok Chigi
  4. Step the right foot back out into left back stance Dwit Kubi → left single knife-hand block Hansonnal Makki
  5. Then a right-leg spinning hook kick Dwi Huryeo Chagi, landing with the right foot back out into left back stance Dwit Kubi → left knife-hand block Sonnal Makki

Two lines defended in one movement. Scored on whether both arms genuinely arrive at the same instant.

Combination 4From Left back stance Dwit Kubi — left foot forwardSliding entry
  1. Left single knife-hand block Hansonnal Makki
  2. Slide forward, the left foot leading, into left forward stance Ap Kubi → left low knife-hand block Sonnal Arae Makki
  3. Right reverse palm-heel strike to the chin Batangson Teok Chigi — indicated — then right rear-leg push kick Mireo Chagi
  4. Cross the left leg behind the right into cross stance Kkoa Seogi → right front-leg side kick Yeop Chagi
  5. Then a left-leg back kick Dwit Chagi, finishing in back stance Dwit Kubi with a knife-hand block Sonnal Makki, left leg in front

The entry slides — it does not step. The front foot leads and the back foot follows the same distance, so the guard never rises and the range closes without announcing itself. Graded on steps 4 and 5: the cross-step must be behind, not around, and the back kick looks over the shoulder before it travels.

Combination 5From Ready stance Junbi — feet shoulder-width, fists at belt heightTrap, knee, elbows
  1. Move into left forward stance Ap Kubi → low block Arae Makki
  2. Step forward into right forward stance → middle wedging block Momtong Hechyeo Makki
  3. No step, right forward stance → twin upset punch
  4. No step, right forward stance → hands twist out into a trapping outward knife-hand block
  5. Right knee strike Mureup Chigi, mid level — off the trap
  6. Land in right forward stance → right turning elbow strike Palkup Dollyeo Chigi
  7. Pivot in place into horse-riding stance Juchum Seogi, same feet → right side elbow strike with the left palm supporting
  8. Horse-riding stance, no step → right back-hand strike
  9. Left inside crescent kick An Chagi to the right palm
  10. Horse-riding stance → left turning elbow strike into the right palm. Finish

Ten counts, one line: the trap sets up every strike after it. Graded on the trap in step 4 — if the hands do not genuinely control before the knee comes up, the knee is a guess. Knee and elbows to a held pad or into your own palm as written; never to a partner.

Safety overlay — overrides every step above

CombinationElement requiring careHandling
1 · Fighting stanceKnife-hand strike to the neck (beat 4)Indicated to the line and stopped. Kicks to a partner’s mid-section indicated, or to a held pad
2 · Cat stanceArc-hand strike to the throat · right knee strikeArc hand indicated to the line and stopped. Knee to a held pad only. Withheld from under-13s
4 · Back stancePalm-heel strike to the chin (step 3) · side kick and back kickPalm heel indicated to the line and stopped. Kicks to a held pad or to the air; never to a partner’s head line
5 · Ready stanceRight knee strike · turning and side elbow strikes · back-hand strikeKnee and elbows to a held pad or into the practitioner's own palm as written. Never to a partner
Age handling

Under-13 candidates substitute a middle reverse punch Momtong Bandae Jireugi for any elbow, knee or neck-line element, and lose no marks for it. The chain is scored, not the omitted finish.

The throat, neck, temple, eyes and spine are never contacted, at any speed, at any rank.

Also taught at this rank

Two techniques are taught here but are not examined in the five. Both are drilled in class and graded at a later grade — learn them here rather than meet them cold later.

1. Defence against a kick — low X-block Otgeoreo Arae Makki intercepting a mid-section front kick, catching the leg and rotating it outward to break the base. The caught leg is always placed down under control, and is never twisted through the knee.

2. pull-and-punch to the jaw Dangkyo Teok Jireugi — the pull and the strike arriving as one action: the blocking hand seizes the sleeve and draws it to the hip at full speed while the other fist strikes the jaw line, indicated. If the two halves arrive separately the technique has not been understood. Taebaek depends on this mechanic at 3rd Dan.

03 — ChagiKicking & footwork

All performed from fighting stance, moving forward, resetting to the starting position after each set. Five repetitions each.

  • Combination kicking — roundhouse → tornado → spinning hook
  • Consecutive kicking — hook → roundhouse → twist → axe → spinning hook
  • Tornado kick and 360° back kick
  • Jumping spinning hook kick
  • All basic kicks — Ap, Dollyo, Yeop, Naeryeo, Bandal, Dwit Chagi — named correctly in Korean on command
Terminology

Bandal Chagi is a half-moon kick — a 45° roundhouse to the mid-section. It is not a crescent kick. The crescent kicks are An Chagi (inward) and Bakkat Chagi (outward). Candidates are examined on the distinction.

Know this about the form

Pal-Jang is 27 movements, trigram Gon ☷, the earth. Under the adopted ladder it is learned here at 2nd Kup and examined again at 1st Kup, alongside any three earlier forms called at random; after that candidates test for black belt and begin Koryo.

Pal-Jang runs backwards relative to the other Taegeuk forms — it starts on the far line and finishes on the near one. The two kihaps are on the flying front kick near the start and on the consecutive jump front kick near the end; nowhere else.

How to work it

Watch the Kukkiwon reference performance the whole way through once before copying any of it. Then work one line of the floor pattern at a time. The three things the panel isolates are the flying front kick, the pulling uppercut and the single-hand wide open block.

Adopted — the poomsae ladder

Decision D-6. Earlier editions of this page named Taegeuk Chil-Jang at both 3rd and 2nd Kup and left Yuk-Jang unassigned. The adopted ladder is 4th Yuk-Jang · 3rd Chil-Jang · 2nd Pal-Jang · 1st Pal-Jang plus any three forms called at random. Chil-Jang is now the 3rd Kup form; it remains examinable here without warning. The step sequence above is the same Pal-Jang transcription printed on the 1st Kup page.

05 — HosinsulSelf defence

Theme at this rank: making the response automatic. Grabs are called at random from every previous rank, with no warning — the candidate does not know what is coming.

Knife

  • Middle thrust (×2)
  • Downward overhead
  • 45° slash
Adopted — this is where graded knife technique begins

Decision D-2. Knife defence formerly listed at 5th Kup (middle thrust) and 4th Kup (downward overhead, middle thrust, 45° slash) is now graded here and not below. 5th Kup carries weapon awareness — recognise, distance, barriers, exits, run — instead. No weapon technique is graded for candidates under 14 (Band D). Training knives only, and every scenario ends by reporting to a trusted adult or authority.

Weapon defence — stated at the start of every session

Training knives only. No live blade is ever brought onto the WTM floor.

Disengagement and escape are the primary response. These techniques are a last resort against an attack already in progress.

Nothing in this syllabus is legal advice on the use of force in Jamaica.

Breakfall

  • Front shoulder roll from standing
  • Back shoulder roll after a back fall from standing

07 — TheoryMental requirements

QuestionAnswer
What is the meaning of the red belt?Red signifies danger — warning the opponent to stay away, and the wearer to exercise control. Innocence is the white belt.
What is the meaning of Taegeuk Chil-Jang?The seventh Taegeuk form. 25 movements, trigram Gan ☶, the mountain.
What is the meaning of Taegeuk Pal-Jang?The eighth and last Taegeuk form. 27 movements, trigram Gon ☷, the earth — the source of life, holding all the basic techniques of Taekwondo.
What are the five virtues of a leader?Intelligence · trustworthiness · humaneness · courage · sternness
What makes you a leader at home, at school or work, and at Taekwondo?Answered from your own experience. There is no model answer and none is expected.
Which part of the foot strikes in the 360° back kick?The bottom of the heel.
What is the Korean word for form?Poomsae (품새)
Identify the essential components of performing poomsae.Accuracy — correct technique, stance, direction and sequence. Presentation — speed and power control, rhythm, balance, breathing, expression.
Why does control matter more at red belt than at any rank before it?Because the techniques now available — knee, elbow, neck line, sweeps — are the first in the syllabus that cannot be delivered at full power to a partner at all.
Life skill concept (children only)Identify, define, and answer questions on the current concept.
All previous mental requirementsExaminable without warning.

08 — Il-bon KyorugiOne-step sparring

No new one-step sequence is owned at this rank. The full register — One-Step 1–18, from 8th Kup to 3rd Kup — is examined both sides, called by number, without warning and out of order.

ExaminedOne-Step 1–3 · 4–6 · 7–9 · 10–12 · 13–15 · 16–18
StandardBoth sides, called by number. The defender never steps directly into the attack, and kihaps on the last counter-strike
SafetyAll head-line and face-line techniques are indicated to the line and stopped. Under-15 candidates substitute a mid-section target throughout and lose no marks. Every takedown on a matted surface, balance managed, never dropped
Adopted — the one-step register

Decision D-7. Earlier editions of this page carried four sequences numbered "One-Step 1–4". Three of them duplicated One-Step 16–18 (the 3rd Kup set: outward knife hand strike, high palm heel strike, middle punch). The fourth — the high punch answered with a palm block, elbow to the spine and neck lock — was an orphan with no place in the 1–18 register; it now sits at 1st Kup as Advanced 5. Nothing has been lost: 2nd Kup is examined on the whole register, and owns no new number.

09 — Moral culturePatience

Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.

David G. Allen

Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered; those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus, the wise win before the fight, while the ignorant fight to win.

Morihei Ueshiba

Patience is choosing to control your emotions rather than letting your emotions control you.

Mark Merrill

At red belt this stops being an abstraction. The techniques now on the syllabus — the knee, the elbow, the neck line, the sweep — are the first the candidate owns that they cannot use on a partner at full power. The rank is, in a specific and practical sense, a test of restraint, and the belt says so: red warns the opponent to stay away and reminds the wearer to exercise control.

Merit stripes — the Mooto reward system

Each side of the belt represents a general aspect of Taekwondo. Merit stripes are earned in class across the rank period and are a condition of being recommended for the grading.

11 — Self-testTest yourself before you grade

Ten questions drawn at random from this syllabus, in the areas you are examined on. Nothing here is scored by the school — it is for finding the gaps while you still have time to close them.
