The Kuk Sool Won testing requirement sheet contains everything that students must know in order to be eligible to test for their next rank. It is important to note that simply knowing everything stated on the testing sheet does not automatically qualify a student to test, this decision is solely at the discretion of the instructor team and will take into account several other factors such as attendance, etiquette, effort levels in lesson, and participation in tournaments and seminars.
The Kuk Sool under Black Belt curriculum contains 231 self defence techniques, 6 empty hand forms, 15 staff control techniques, 5 sword cutting techniques, 12 meditation positions, and a plethora of kicks, hand strikes and break falls.
The testing requirements are split into several age ranges. The amount of knowledge required for each belt varies based on the age of the student, with adults needing to know the most, and children aged 8 and under needing to know the least.
