Kong Shin Bup

Home Study Program

The Kong Shin Bup and Kuk Sool HapKiDo home study course, produced and marketed by Kong Shin Bup International (KSBI), is designed to aid Martial Arts practitioners in earning certification to Black Belt status from the comfort of your own home or Martial Arts school. This course is intended for students who seriously desire to learn the martial arts yet are not able to join a Martial Arts school due to schedule, travel distance, financial constraints, or the inability to find a qualified instructor to present the material they desire. Many Martial Artists from other styles benefit from the material presented by adding to their existing knowledge.

Testing

There are 8 levels of testing required to reach Black Belt level certification: Yellow – Orange – Green – Blue – Red – Brown - Dahn- Bo - Black Special request for above Black Belt material. Each level is designed to teach the student the principles used in the Martial Arts according to their level of understanding. Participants of this course will be expected to start at White Belt and work to the Yellow belt level. In other words it would not be wise to teach a child Algebra when he is starting to learn how to count. The only exception of this rule will be allowed if the student has previous or current Martial Arts experience. If a new participant of the Kuk Sool – HapKiDo Home Study Course requests to start at a level above Yellow Belt, he/she will be required to submit a photo copy of their rank certification and a video tape containing a comprehensive performance of their skills. The average time recommended to practice the material of each level and then perform a video test is between 4 and 6 months. This time has been found to be accurate from students attending class a minimum of 2 times per week and practicing a minimum of 1 hour per week. It is suggested that the student perform a practice test at least once every 8 weeks in front of an audience to gain personal confidence and increase their ability to think quickly under stress. Due to the possibility of questions concerning the material presented, questions will be answered via e- mail, phone, or pre-scheduled internet video conferencing. Each level will have a specific performance test required before certification will be awarded and permission to move to the next level is granted. The performance test will be an audio recording of directions vocalized by an instructor of JSDS. This recording will be supplied on either cassette tape or CD format and used by the student during the performance test. The student will be required to video-tape the test while performing the test without interruption from start to finish. When the test is complete the student will mail the DVD or video file to KSBI for review by the certification board. Upon review of the video-tape the student will be notified of a pass or fail grade. If the student fails the test, he/she will be able to submit another video-test no sooner than 30 days from initial test. The student will receive a report card of the test grading to help the student focus on the areas that need the most improvement. When the student passes the test, he/she will receive a certificate of promotion, a belt (color corresponding to level of test), and permission to advance to the next level of training material.
