    Testing

    1. In keeping with tradition, the karate student does not ask to be tested. Testing is generally held every three months during the student’s regularly scheduled class. Your instructor knows your progress and will tell you when you’re ready for testing. Requirements for each belt level must be completed proficiently (simply “knowing” them is not sufficient) and require time to master. These requirements are posted in the dojo, or you may ask for a copy.

    2.   Test days are held on the third month of each cycle. Please watch the newsletter for posted testing days. Students will receive a pretest and if they do well, will be cleared to test on the testing days. If you are unable to test on your scheduled date, please notify the office in order to move you to the next available date. NO KARATE CLASSES ARE HELD ON TESTING DATES.
