1. I was holding to Poom Belt Certificate before I stopped Taekwondo and decided to re-join Taekwondo in NYP as a CCA, what shall I do?
- It is advisable for you to go back to your club and instructor and get your Poom Belt Certificate converted to Black (Loyalty to Mother Club)
- I still wish to attend extra training in NYP / I wish to contribute to NYP TKD Club and be part of the committee, even though I have contacted & will remain member of my Mother Club.
- Pay training fees and attend training like any other members. You have to give us a photocopy of your BlackBelt Certifiate to prove your grades. Thereafter, you can represent NYP TKD in any tournaments (gain CCA points if you are selected to be committee member or won medals in tournaments) as long as you have obtained prior approval from your instructor. We will not put your name in the list of members to inform when there are upgrade and courses, as you have to go through your own Club for such registration.
- I do not wish to go back to my Club as it is inaccessible / I cannot contact my instructor / I forgot my Club's name and instructor's name + I wish to join NYP TKD for good and contribute to NYP TKD Club
- Pay training fees and you will be officially under NYP TKD which is managed by Zen Taekwondo Club. You will be informed of any courses which you are eligible to attend. Submit Application for Poom to Black/Dan Conversion form (refer to Forms page for the list of documents) to Secretary.
