| Hwa Rang Do blackbelt tests are closed door testing with only the blackbelts able to attend.
I think some TKD schools have similar rituals but a lot more open with their high level testing. In fact, few years ago, a TKD grandmaster in our area was testing for his 7th or 8th blackbelt and invited his teacher from Korea to US and the testing was done in a huge public sports arena. A lot of people attended it and was even on the local news paper. I kind of wish I was there, out of curiosity to see what a 7th or 8th level blackbelt testing is like. |
