Test & Class Schedule for Test Day
For all students the belt test will commence at 9.30am and will run until approximately 10.30am. The class/test will be at the FTP State School Hall.
Theory Tests occur for Adults & kids over 12 years for:
white testing for yellow
orange testing for green
Any Dan rank
Belts & Ranks:
At the end of each school term we have a belt test. The student may end up with any of the following outcomes:
no rank change if not quite ready
a change in level
for kids, the addition of a stripe (Kyu level changes)
belt colour change
The traditional martial arts as passed to us from Japan is aimed at life learning lessons. Therefore belt testing is always a competency & effort based test, with age & size factored in (i.e. people are not simply promoted for participating).
