In addition to the regular training classes, we are setting up a series of Special Training Classes geared towards Junior and Adult Black Belt Candidates. It is highly encouraged to attend these classes, as each will be run by a Master Ranking Black Belt with decades of experience.

This portion of the Black Belt Test is for those who could not attend or did not pass the Review portion of the Black Belt Test.

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

During the Post-Review, students will perform their required testing curriculum with the exception of Sparring and Written test, which will be administered at their home dojo.

This is a fantastic event where members of S.T.O.R.M., Assistant Instructors, and Instructors from across the association come together to meet and train.
