World Song Moo Kwan Federation Dan Certification

TESTING

This method is for school owners/masters, typically Sadan and higher, who are not currently connected to a teacher. For whatever reason, they don't have direct teaching yet have continued to train and teach. The application for testing will need to be completed in advance including copies of previous rank certificates and evidence of continued training/teaching. The requirements for testing will be to perform the curriulum that you will require students to perform. An outline of this information must be submitted prior to testing. (This is intended to help further develop the depth of knowledge and promote continuing the lineage) Additionally, at least one member of the Board of Examiners must be present . If you are a student (gup rank to Samdan) without a school, you should contact the Regional Director for your area to arrange a school to train with.

RE-CERTIFICATION

This opportunity is for Yudansha who are joining the WSMKF. Previous training is recognized and provides additional value to the skills/talent developed. If the student is a current member of a school, re-certification had be done at each Dan rank earned from that school. An orphan yudansha joining WSMKF may get their current rank re-certified. This will qualify them for future Dan testing through WSMKF. Re-certification fees are 75% of Dan Test fees. (see chart below)
