What is a No-Change?

Getting a No-Change at testing could depend on a few factors making a mistake in your form, adaptable sparring combinations for your rank, missing your breaking attempts, and your indomitable spirit at testing.
A No-Change at testing is a pretty hard dose of reality and can be very upsetting, downright frustrating, and hard to overcome.

First, remember it's one day out of many training days, not just in Taekwondo but in life. There will be days that you will succeed and days you will not.
Then you're going to ask yourself did I do enough to pass this testing, or did I do enough to squeak by.

How can I fix the issues or problems if you received a No-Change at testing?

Here are some pointers to help you achieve your next rank.

Coming to class regularly, Taekwondo is not easy, and you can't get the full benefit if you only come one to two days a week.
Practice at home. I've been saying this for years. Working on your pattern at home is a great way to focus on your goal.
Make sure you sign up for events like Tournaments and Clinics.

Lastly, ask an instructor to look at your form to ensure you're doing it correctly. Most of the Instructors at the Black Belt level have already had their trials with No-Changes.
We're not going to give you a new rank just because you showed up. So if you want the results, you need to put in the quality time and work towards your goal.
We'll see you in class. Keep your head high. Remember, it's just one day!
