Participants should prepare themselves both mentally and physically prior to each promotion. Promotions are a reflection of an entire quarter's work and effort. Promotions are a test of memory, endurance and spirit, all of which is achieved through consistent practice and effort.

Physical Preparation
1) Get a good nights sleep.
2) Bring plenty of water and a light snack (promotions can last up to 4 hours).
3) Arrive early, though promotion starts at 12:00, you must be warmed up beforehand.

Mental Preparation
1) Commit and prepare yourself to test early in the quarter.
2) Leave promotion day free of other responsibilities; leave time in the morning to arrive early and time in the evening to socialize with TKD members.

Miscellaneous
1) Pack your gear the night before, (sparring equipment and a clean uniform).
2) Promotion fees are $10 per quarter, (made out to instructor), plus a $30 annual fee, (made out to the Hayward State Taekwondo club).
