Dec. Promotion Results

Jan. Promotion Eligibility List

Testing for belt promotions are usually held on the last Saturday of the month.
Check the bulletin board or this WEB PAGE for the date and time of the next test.  A list is posted with the names of  students who have fulfilled their required classes and may be eligible for their next belt. Please note they must also have all their required tips as well.  Make sure uniforms are clean and good hygiene observed.

*Belt testing fees should be taken care of the week prior to their test*

Student requirements are as follows:
        Been a student for 3 months.
        Attended a minimum of 12 classes KINDER.
        Attended a minimum of 24 classes YTH & ADULTS.
        Earned all the required tips for belt rank
        (See tip chart enclosed in student packet).

A belt promotion test example:
At your first belt test you will be asked to perform the following minimum requirements:

KINDER               YOUTH & ADULTS

Students will receive the results of their test in their next class (not the day they test).  You may want to bring a camera to catch this proud moment, as they are presented their new belt in front of their peers.  You are also allowed to film their testing as well.  You may attend belt tests other than your own just to observe, (except black belt testings, those are private to student and family only). This may help you to know what to except when it is your time to test.
