Examination Requirements
Examinations are designed to test student's skill levels. An exam will indiciate if students can apply what they've learned.
Those students who can fully demonstrate the requirements will be eligible to examine.
Regular attendance, technical skill, effort in class, positive attitude & spirit, and respect towards instructors and fellow students are also factors taken into consideration when deciding on eligiblity for exams.
Not all students are considered eligible to test after each session as the advancement process may take a different amount of time for each individual. As students advance to higher levels, the degree of physical and technical difficulty increases. As a result more time is required between gradings.
