Name: ______________________________ Start date: ______________ School: ______________________________

House (circle one): WT / Kukkiwon · ITF Current grade: 10th geup (white belt) · Target: First geup test at about week 10 to 12

How This Plan Works

The plan runs in two tracks where the houses differ and one track where they agree, which is most of the time. Boxes marked WT apply in a Kukkiwon/WT school, boxes marked ITF in an ITF school, and unmarked boxes apply everywhere. Your instructor's order of teaching outranks this page. When your class covers something earlier or later than the week printed here, check the box when it happens and write the date beside it.

First form by house: WT students work toward Taegeuk Il Jang (18 movements). Many WT schools teach a short basic form first, so check with your instructor which form is your test form and write it here: ______________________. ITF students work through Saju Jirugi and Saju Makgi (four-direction punch and block, 14 movements each) and then Chon-Ji (19 movements).
