We’ll be conducting a Color Belt testing on Wednesday, December 6th and Make-Up Color Belt testing on Friday, December 8th. Student must earn the right to test by proving they’ve mastered their techniques, forms and show a consistent amount of focus and effort in their classes. As well, it’s important to me to know my students are not only showing good behavior at the studio but also at home/school. If any student that isn’t demonstrating acceptable behavior at home or school may not earn the right to test (Highly recommend parents to contact me if their child isn’t following through on their responsibilities). Testing papers will be handed out 2-3 weeks prior to testing and attending students to the test need bring their sparring gear/full uniform.

Our 2nd Biannual Black Belt Testing will be held on Saturday, October 28th and students testing time will be determined whether if they are going for a Degree or just an evaluation.

Black Belt testing will last for a couple of hours and students should be prepare properly for that day by getting good amount of sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, bringing plenty of water/sport drinks and entering the studio with an excited and confident attitude.

This event is appropriate for students in 2nd Grade and above
