The tryout consisted of a physical test, a basic kicking test, a poomse test and a class score. The physical test required them to complete at least 21 proper pushups and 36 proper self-situps. The basic kicking test required them to demonstrate front snap kick, round house kick and back kick with proper execution. The poomse test required them to choose a poomse and perform it with proper technique, powerful energetic control and strong concentration. The class score is an overall score given based on their class behavior, effort and performance. All tryout participants passed the tryout and moved to the trial MLG period.
