This is the full Moo Duk Kwan color belt curriculum as taught by Hwang Kee, covering 10th Gup to 9th, 9th to 8th, 8th to 7th, and 7th to 6th — about a year of training for most students.

Ki Cho Hyung Il Bu, E Bu, and Sam Bu--the first three Basic forms, plus Pyung Ahn Cho Dan. Each taught with a full-speed demonstration, a detailed walkthrough, and a separate review lesson for refinement.
Basics
Front stance and back stance, hand techniques at every rank, waist twisting mechanics, front kick, roundhouse, side kick, stretch and crescent kicks.
Applications
One-steps, cross wrist grabs, and Kyuk Pa breaking at both orange belt levels.

Brian's background is in the system founded by Hwang Kee in 1945 — the source of both Tang Soo Do and Soo Bahk Do, and one of the roots of modern Tae Kwon Do. It draws on Okinawan karate, Tan Tui, Ba Duan Jin, Tai Chi and Kwon Bup as documented in the Moo Yei Do Bo Tong Ji.
Sa Bom is the highest teaching certification the art offers, designating a master model instructor. Brian holds two national appointments from Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang.
Test for rank when you're ready
Rank evaluation is optional and sold separately. The curriculum stands on its own — plenty of students train it purely as reference, or to sharpen what they already practice elsewhere.
If you do want certified rank, every section of this course includes the full testing requirements for that level, the video submission standards, and a demonstration example. You'll receive a detailed evaluation from Brian Corrales, Sa Bom, with certification issued through Wasatch Martial Arts Academy under the World Moo Duk Kwan.
Learn about certificationWhat an evaluation involves
- Train consistently. Around two hours a week for three to four months at your current rank.
- Record your video. In uniform, full body in frame, with room to move freely.
- Demonstrate the basics. Blocks and strikes on both sides, kicks from both angles, following the format given in your rank section.
- Announce and perform your form. Name it, then run it, exactly as shown in the example video.
- Submit and receive feedback. A detailed evaluation of your performance, with certification on passing.
Certified rank requires membership in the US Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation or your country's World Moo Duk Kwan affiliate. No membership is needed to take the course. One-steps, wrist grabs and breaking require a partner.
