Belt Testing is an important part of every student’s martial arts journey. It’s a chance to demonstrate skills, earn the next belt, and celebrate progress.
Tiger Cubs (Ages 4-5)
Tiger Cubs follow a unique belt testing format that includes both their Belt Testing and Champions Ceremony on the same evening.
Here’s how it works:
- Cubs arrive ready to test at their scheduled time.
- After their testing, parents are invited inside for a brief Champions Ceremony.
- During the ceremony, students are recognized and receive their new belts.
Juniors, Teens, and Adults (White Belt and Above)
All other ranks follow a traditional format with Belt Testing and Champions Ceremony on separate days:
- Students will complete their Belt Testing on one day.
- A few days later, we host a special Champions Ceremony where students are recognized and awarded their new belts.
Belt Testing Schedule
IMPORTANT: Come to the time for the belt you are wearing, not the one you are testing for.
ON TIME POLICY: Students arriving late for Testing will have their Testing score negatively affected.
BELT TESTING UNIFORM & EQUIPMENT: Students not in proper attire or who do not have required gear will have their Testing score negatively affected.
BELT TESTING SCHEDULE:
To help accommodate summer plans, we’re offering early and late testing options for all ranks—including Black Belts. The usual $15 make-up fee will be waived for makeup testings, but we strongly encourage everyone to attend their Primary Test Date if possible. If you need to do an early or late testing, speak with Mr. Sheehan.
