This area of the web page is to discuss the skills a student must master before attaining a given rank. Ranking at SKTC is used to help students set goals and to award individuals for hard work and accomplishment. It generally takes longer to acquire a rank at SKTC than it does at other schools because we believe that skills should be mastered not just learned to advance in rank. When a student gains rank here the individual knows they have earned it.
These web pages only display the skill sets necessary to advance in rank and do not include the time and dedication expected of the ranking student. Also, with each rank, a level of mastery and understanding of the art and one's body is expected.
