THINGS TO KNOW

To help our students better prepare themselves and plan for belt exams. Our schools will hold Belt Exams once every 3 cycles.

This will help students and families to better plan their activities around belt exams.

Purple, Blue, Green, Gray, Tan, Brown, Red, 2nd Brown, & 2nd Red belts must have 16 sparring classes to test for 3rd tip.

New sparring cards will be given to Purple, Blue, Green, Gray, Tan, Brown, Red, 2nd Brown, & 2nd Red belts when they receive their 3rd tip.

The school will offer make-up exams for special occasions 4 – 6 weeks after the scheduled exam. These make-ups are only for students who qualify and are approved by their instructor. There will be an additional $20 charge.

Look at the exam dates above, write those dates down. They are your belt exams!
