All Black Belts regardless of age or gender must have the necessary skills to defend themselves against attacks. All Black Belts must have the maturity to teach and lead by example. All Black Belts must have the responsibility to know when NOT to use their skills on someone. 13 is the minimum age requirement for a Hap Ki Do Black Belt; 17 is the minimum age required for a Tae Kwon Do Black Belt. The Black Belt can be attained through the regular scheduled time period or by the concentrated Black Belt Program. We offer the opportunity to achieve two different Black Belts for children and adults.
