In any course, it is important to know where you are at and what the stepping stones are, so you have goals to work towards. The belt you wear provides you and your fellow students with a clear idea of what knowledge and skills you have mastered, and what level of advancement can reasonably be expected of you.
Younger students can easily find those who can answer their questions, and older students will be able to understand the level others are working on, and address them accordingly.
Below is an overview of the knowledge and skills required to gain a belt level. You may apply to test for a belt at the very earliest after a certain number of classes, and then only with your teacher's permission. During the test, we will ask you to show us your knowledge and the skills you have learned. The requirements for this part of the test are listed here. At the same time, we will also make an intuitive assessment of your progress, which will weigh at least as heavily as the rest.
At each level, you must be able to demonstrate all lower belt requirements.
