Ranks & Advancement Timeline
Moo Do Kwan Crestwood classes are held at the Crestwood Community Center as part of their Fitness, Health & Wellness program. Registration, schedules, and pricing are determined by the Community Center. As such, our class sessions are typically three (3) months long. Students are eligible to test at the end of each session for their next belt level if the Instructors determine that they are ready.
