As you advance to an intermediate level (green and brown belts) you are becoming leaders of the class. As leaders, it is your responsibility to set the best example you know how. As you advance, your instructors will expect you to be leaders and act accordingly.

1. LEAD by example. When a new student joins they are looking for role models. Just like a child they will emulate those closest to them in gender, age and rank. You, as an individual, must set a good example.

2. ALL rules of the dojang must be strictly followed. 

3. The 14 attitude requirements to master Tang Soo Do must be understood.

4. Testing requirements will become MORE DIFFICULT. There are physical requirements as well as mental requirements. Your instructors will need to see progress in ALL areas before you receive the opportunity to test.

Remember, you are being tested each day in class by your ability to follow the rules of the dojang and adhering to the 14 attitude requirements.
