Belt Promotion Testing 

Belt promotions are an integral part of the martial arts curriculum. This process rewards the progress students are making in proficiency and maturity on their martial arts journey.

Promotions are scheduled only when the instructor feels the students are ready and will be held outside of the scheduled class time.

 

Students will receive a new belt and a certificate certificate to show the amazing they work have done!

Belt promotion readiness sessions are provided to help the student prepare for their promotion. These sessions are not a guarantee that the student will be promoted, that’s 100% up to the student!
