Testing is the process in which the instructors of the organization judge the growth of the individual student. If students desire to advance in rank, then they are required to go through this testing process.

Every testing is scheduled throughout the year approximately every two months. Specific testing dates are posted in class for every student. Every student should attend and observe these testings in order to advance in rank. If a student is to miss a testing then he/she must notify and the head instructor before the testing date. If a student misses a testing date without notifying the head instructor then that student will not be allowed to test the next two-month testing period. This problem may be avoided simply by informing the head instructor of your absence.

Students are required to fill out testing applications before testing will be allowed. All testing applications must be turned in at a reasonable time before testing dates. All fees also must be paid by a reasonable time before testing dates.

Any late testing applications or fees will be frowned upon. It is the student's responsibility to make sure that all information and fees are taken care of before the desired testing.

Those students who wish to test must have permission from the head instructor beforehand. Testing is a privilege that must be earned throughout diligent practice each testing period.

Etiquette at testing must include the utmost respect. It is the responsibility of the student to be prepare to perform their required techniques and forms. Higher ranks must be ready to perform their break falls/ take-downs, three-step/ free sparring, and board breaking techniques. Any indignation that a technique is not memorized will only hurt the overall testing score of the student.
