Belt Testing

The promotion tests are only an opportunity to test if you are ready.  You must ask an instructor prior to testing to get authorization to test.   It is up to the instructor to make sure you know what your level requires before you are allowed to test.  It is up to you to know the philosophies, weapons, strikes, blocks forms, kicks, etc.

Some students have double promoted or better through levels and some take a test only every 4 - 6 months.  It is an individual achievement effort as to how fast you can promote.  Remember the color of belt around your waist does not make a difference in the real world.  It matters what you can actually do and do well that will count in a real-life street situation.
