You must have a minimum 2 classes per week to be considered for testing, including Sparring/Grappling classes.
(Some leeway for vacation and illness)

REMINDER If you are testing for GREEN BELT, RED BELT or BLACK BELT, remember that the color trim uniforms, very traditional, are required. The plain white uniforms are beginners uniforms.
Just like you would get a new uniform moving from Freshman football to JV football, and again from JV to Varsity Football, this change in Rank Trim is not an option.
Please see someone at the desk to make sure we have enough time to order your uniform and have it here in time for promotions. Thank you!
BLACK BELT TESTING is 4th Saturday of April and October. BLACK BELT PROMOTIONS are 15 days AFTER testing. On that Sunday, promptly beginning at 4 p.m.
