Black Belt Testing Review

The dojo will be closed today, due to Black Belt Testing Preview. The Performance Preview is the first time the candidates get to demonstrate their skill levels.

During the review candidates will be standing in front of four to five master ranking judges with over a hundred years of combined experience!

These tests will be a CLOSED DOOR TESTS. We have found that test candidates perform their best without the added pressure that an audience of family members, spouses, and friends create. The preview will be recorded and made available to each candidate.

Best of luck to all candidates!
