Every 4 months a Grading examination will be held at the club. In order to earn your next rank, your skills and knowledge must be examined during a verbal and physical test.

Testing generally covers forms, one - two or three-step sparring techniques, board breaking, and general knowledge questions. Additional topics may be covered at the test Instructors discretion.

General requirements for Grading's includes

1/Demonstrated knowledge of current level techniques.

2/Minimum attendance of two times per week during period preceding exam.

3/Ability to verbally recite answers to exam study questions and other general knowledge.

Once you are prepared for testing, you will be invited to attend a test by an instructor and given an exam form. The exam form must be filled out completely and returned to the club at least three days prior to the test, or you will not be able to do your grading.

After the test and upon passing the examination you will be awarded your next belt in the next following week.

Grading examinations are a very important part of your progress in the martial arts. By demonstrating what you have learned in front of an examiner, you will gain valuable self-confidence and experience. Additionally, regular examinations teach our students goal-setting and complex preparation skills that will serve them well throughout life.
