All rank exams for all Chayon-Ryu schools, are held at the World Headquarters Dojang in Spring Branch, and are given by Grandmaster Kim Soo and a panel of Chayon-Ryu masters and black belts from all branch schools. This is done to ensure quality control, and that each chayon-ryu school teaches a universal cirriculum and all students learn the art as designed and taught by Grandmaster Kim Soo. Ranks are certified by Grandmaster Kim Soo himself.

- Required clothing-
For Chayon-Ryu Martial Arts : All students must wear a martial arts uniform (dobok), with school and system patches properly placed, and student's first and last name embroidered on the left side (benheath the school patch).
A standard white Karate student grade uniform is designed for ease of movement and safety during martial arts practice.
- You may purchase unform patches and emblems from your branch school instructor. Patches are required for ALL students.
Additional equipment: cloth sparring pads, long staff, short sticks. All students must have sparring pads, which can be purchased online, at HQ or at sporting goods suppliers such as Academy. Students will not be allowed to participate in sparring if they do not have the proper safety equipment
Through a system of etiquette and philosophy, students learn how to apply the 'Natural Way Philosophy' to lead a successful, happy, and non-violent life.
Modern day enemies are internal rather than external: Stress, worry, insecurity, jealousy, impatience, defeat, and depression are ever-present.
You must fight these inside enemies on a daily or even hourly basis, and defeat them through your training. Ultimately, Chayon-Ryu training helps your life, the lives of your family, and the lives of those you encounter.
We treat you as an individual and are interested in your goals in training. You progress through the training at your own rate.
Physical training includes concurrent study in the formal curriculums of Okinawan Karate, Korean Hapkido, Chinese Chuan-fa (Kung Fu), and Korean Taekwondo. Students learn how to combine these arts into a comprehensive system of self-defense.
Additionally, students learn elements of TaeKyun, Judo, and Bong Sul (staff techniques & weapons). Our lineage chart.

The Chayon-Ryu curriculum covers the entire spectrum of traditional Asian Martial Arts, seeking to improve the practitioner’s mind and body. This Art combines kicks, punches, joint locks, pressure points, throws, falls, weapons, meditation and breathing skills into a beautiful and dynamic hard/soft style. It is a complete and well-rounded martial arts system that is sure to meet your physical and mental goals.
Academic studies include learning the lineage of each art studied, terminology, and history of how the arts evolved. Students are required to satisfactorily pass written exams in addition to physical skills at each rank.
