Currently, Grade 1 (senior) and higher and 1st poom and higher candidates are centrally graded on Saturday under a panel of three examiners while Grade 1 (junior) – that is those going for poom belt – are graded together with the other colour belts.
With effect from January 2008 grading, all grade 1 candidates (junior) are also required to be centrally graded under a panel of three examiners. This is necessary because the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) wants to ensure a more consistent standard for 1st poom.
