What are Tae Kwon Do grading questions for orange stripe?

Answer 1

It depends - every school will be different, and then every test will be a little different.

Examples

• At one school white belt and yellow belts must demonstrate their forms and their one-step sparring techniques. Green belts and above must also demonstrate forms but instead of one-step sparring they demonstrate free-sparring. Blue belts must demonstrate target drills. Brown belts must demonstrate three-step sparring. Red belts and above must demonstrate breaking techniques.
• At another school every belt has a form (hyung). Each time you grade you have to demonstrate all the forms from your white belt to your current belt. You have to demonstrate all new techniques and previously learned techniques, including one-step sparring, self-defense techniques, and board breaking. You must answer all the questions asked by the examiners. You also have to do certain exercises such as pushups, sit-ups and squats.
