Dan Tests

The U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation’s Technical Advisory Committee provides 2 opportunities per year in each Federation region for qualified students to test for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Dan ranks. Higher rank candidates are tested at an annual, week long Masters exam called the Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa.

Federation Regional Dan tests are scheduled and managed by Regional Examiners and Regional Administrators in each of the Federation’s 10 regions.

Students applying to test for Dan rank must be recommended by their personal instructor and must submit a completed application packet and fees in accordance with the instructions of Regional Officials.

Dan Test forms can be downloaded from the wiki and completed on your computer using the free Adobe Reader software.
