what does that mean?

that means she has 2 more tests to go before she has to appeare in front of the big wigs at a national event to test for the next.
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Since when did a Dan have levels.
Congrats on your passing but what does level 1 mean?

Our school does the same thing for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Dan, except it's 5 levels.

We can't have someone go 2 or 3 years without some testing fees right??
Congratulations.
I understand the mechanics behind the "interval" tests, but other than as a revenue generator I've never seen any reason for them. What's the rationale behind this process? I have a friend who is Chodan in a local Kukki school, and he tells me he has to earn "7 stripes and 7 stars" (or somesuch, I could easily be wrong on the exact number) before he can test for Eedan.
In our Moo Duk Kwan school, we're simple minded. You train, after an appropriate interval you're invited to test, and you either pass (and are promoted) or you don't.

We are the same as you. But I can see how it tests or guages your level of knowledge as you progress to the next Dan, hope they don't have to pay for each level in between.

I just love to see someone spout out good news and people start turning it into a "that's just wrong because we don't do that" type of discussion.
Karatemom...congrats on your success and keep up the hard work.
The rest...start a new thread where you politely crap on the whole thing. I don't believe she asked any of us our opinion on what we feel is right or wrong about about what she does at her school.

Ditto what Granfire said!
By the way, thanks for stepping in and explaining the history/rationale behind the ITA now known as Tiger Rock Martial Arts system.
