Path to black belt
A student belt test is scheduled approximately every four months for adult students and every twelve months for children and youth students.
All students are assessed and ultimately invited to test after demonstrating proper techniques, commitment, and attitude during regular class time. Student attendance is critical to achieving promotion. All students should plan to attend every available class in order to develop the necessary skills for advancement.
Students who are identified ready and eligible to test will be notified through written invitation approximately two weeks prior to the test date.
