Instructor Certification
A Soo Bahk Do instructor is required to posses a command of our martial art as well as the patience, skills and ability to instruct students of all levels, ages and physical fitness. Within Soo Bahk Do there are 4 formal ranks for instructors:
- Dan (equivalent to black belt in other martial arts)
- Jo Kyo Nim
- Kyo Sa Nim
- Sa Bom Nim
Each rank requires an increase in a practioner's “black belt” level, as well as age and specific training and testing requirements that focus on teaching abilities and curriculum knowledge.
