Welcome, candidates, to our 98th Black Belt Graduation! Together with the Korea Moo Duk Kwan Association, we are honored to host the 2024 graduating class for ITMA and KTMA.

Here are a few key things to know to help make this weekend a success:

Black Belt Applications: All black belt applications MUST go through your school’s Head Master and meet all qualification, payment, and membership requirements outlined by your dojang. Your Master will request the appropriate KTMA and ITMA dan rank certification from our national office. Upon passing your examination, you will be awarded both KTMA and ITMA certifications at this event.

KTMA Age and Time Requirements

This is a minimum time requirements set by Kukkiwon and adopted my Korea Moo Duk Kwan Association. This does not include your dojang Head Master's requirements for advancement. Most dojangs require additional time between dan testing. Many dojangs have additional, more relevant curriculum that is not in the Kukkiwon or KTMA requirements. Your Master will determine when you are ready to promote to the next level.
