Testing For Rank
We extend our warmest welcome to you on joining UNIVERSAL KARATE STUDIO. When you first walk into our studio, you will notice that various students wear different colored belts and may wonder why. Out of respect for our traditional martial arts heritage, we at the UKS use colored belts to denote accomplishment and mastery of skill. As you move forward in your training, you like thousands of students who have gone before you, will be allowed to wear a colored belt that symbolizes the level of your achievement.
Within a few weeks of
joining UKS you will be invited to your first belt test. After demonstrating
your skill in several of the many basic techniques that you will already
have learned, you will be awarded your first rank, the yellow belt. With
each colored belt you will also receive the UKS certificate of promotion,
which is, recognized everywhere.
The testing procedure: Each test has a specific number of techniques to learn and skills to achieve. Your instructor, upon watching your progress, will invite you to the next scheduled testing when he feels that you are ready. In the beginning, you will find that your belt tests are scheduled closer together and are shorter in length. As you get further along and your knowledge and skill increases, your belt tests will be further apart and will take longer to complete. All tests are held in complete safety under the personal direction of your chief instructor and myself. A minimal fee is charged for testing which covers the instructor’s time, a new belt and a certificate of promotion upon successful completion of the test. Extra sessions are available prior to posted test dates to ensure your success.
