MuSool Color Belt Test and MATTs Entrance Exam Update


As most of the MuSool students know, Saturday February, 26th MuSool Academy will be hosting a color belt test. The testing will also serve as a MuSool Advance Training Techniques (MATTs) Entrance Exam for Red/Brown Belts and above.

For the Taekwondo students that are testing, you should have received an application form in the last two weeks. This application form needs to be returned with the testing fee no later than Friday, February 25th. The parents of all students testing must sign the back of the form along with their teacher. If you have not received a application and feel you are ready to test, please see Master Creech, Master Moore, or Instructor Dileo today.

The testing fees are as follows:
Up to Green Belt - $55.00
Green Belt and above - $65.00
Black Belt Checks - $35.00

The testing times are as follows:
10am – Yellow, high yellow, orange, and high orange, high red and deputy black belt candidates test
11am – Green and up test.

VERY IMPORANT: Student’s that receive an application are not guaranteed promotion. If your child receives this application, it guarantees that the instructor that signed it has conducted classes in accordance with the MuSool Black Belt Board and each student had the opportunity to learn the set requirements and skills set by the board.

Because the Hapkido students are mainly adults, there is no application for their testing to be signed by a parent or teachers. You will get your instructors blessings verbally. Your testing is set for 9am. The Dojang will open at 830am. Your testing fees are same as above.

For the students that are going to try to get into MATTs. If you are testing for a belt the entrance fee is free. If you are just doing the MATTs entrance exam then there is a $35.00 fee.

Prior to being accepted into MATTs the minimum physical requirements must be completed and witnessed by a MuSool Black Belt. So far, Bradley Shuler is the only student to complete the run, pushup, falling/rolling sets and situp requirements. The requirements are as follows:

Entrance into Exit MATTs:
MATTs: 1.5 mile run – 16 minutes or less under 15 minutes
Pushups – 20 35
Situps – 30 50
Falling/rolling sets- 5 10

Good luck to everyone that is trying out. MATTs is the final step to the MuSool Black Belt.
