Poom to Dan CONVERSION SYSTEM:

It is important to note that the conversion from Poom to Dan is not automatic. Poom belt holders must apply for Dan conversion through their respective club coaches (conversion fees applicable). All Poom belt holders are advised to apply for Dan conversion on reaching the age of 15. Applying later may place individuals at a disadvantage, as the eligibility time frame for the subsequent Dan promotion test begins from the date of issue of the Dan certificates.
