EVALUATION

According to the existing system of WTF, it's required to follow strict succession during the accomplishment of attestation - the student starts with the attestation on the white belt (X GEUP), proceeds to the yellow belt (IX GEUP) and so on, without missing any level. It is necessary for the complete acquirement of the basic technique. At the same time the requirement for the length of time is strictly followed, that means, there are fixed dates for proceeding from one GEUP to another.
Given system exists sportsmen who practise 3 times a week.
The right of accomplishing the attestation is owned by a master of 4th and higher DAN.
As result of the attestation on the 1st DAN and higher the sportsmen are given an international exemplary certificate, and his data is sent to the headquarters of WTF in Seoul (Kukkiwon).
The diplomas of sportsmen, attestated on GEUPs, are handed over by the Taekwondo federation of the given country, while on that diploma there has to be the signature of a master who has accomplished the attestation.
