Oct 16, 2018 at 12:38 comment added Andy Jeffries And the exceptions are that individual masters of 4th Dan or above can promote their own students without needing a panel, all they need to do is apply to be a KMS member. Source: Poom/Dan Examiner Course Austria 2015 ;-)
Oct 10, 2018 at 12:02 comment added Andrew Jay I get what you say about MNA, and such is described in that context in the links. But there is no mention of how to apply for dan certification outside of MNA, except where MNA is not available in countries - hardly meant to describe private dojangs. There is the notable exception in article 6.2 "Any Member National Association which does not have, among its members, official Kukkiwon 6th Dan or higher Dan holders should obtain approval from the Kukkiwon to carry out the testing." and that suggests where we could both be correct - and which introduces the exceptions
Oct 10, 2018 at 11:59 comment added Andrew Jay In the link, Article 6, bullet 3 indicates "(3) Promotion tests should be composed of three to ten members and they must be arranged so that they may easily view the testee's performance". Article 1 and 2 explain the 6th dan qualifications (now 7th). But no mention is made about open testing - even in tests which appear to be private still adhere to these guidelines - number of instructors, rank, paperwork, age and time... all of it. Facility features is usually what is not always optimal. And I've never seen a doctor present.
Oct 9, 2018 at 21:36 comment added Andy Jeffries If you're referring to kukkiwon.or.kr/front/pageView.action?cmd=/eng/evaluate/… then remember these only apply to MNAs that run open dan testing, and don't apply to individual master instructors recommending their own students after dan testing.
Oct 9, 2018 at 21:35 comment added Andy Jeffries Great, can you cite a reference for this? For example kukkiwon.or.kr/english/examination/examination08.jsp doesn't state anything about "At a minimum, three to ten people must promote" nor the requirement to be a "A Kukkiwon-certified instructor" nor "6th dan or higher". Again, I'm happy to change my understanding, I regularly attend Kukkiwon courses to try to ensure I'm up to date - but I'd need a reference to the correct information not just the opinion of "some guy off the internet".
Oct 8, 2018 at 15:48 comment added Ryan Wigwam, who is currently downvoted at -1. He is completely correct pursuant to the new rules for Dan promotion written as of May 2016. Downvote him all you want, or go and read the new regulations, because his information is 100% correct and spot on
