Testing
Tests will be offered four times per year, on the training day nearest to the solstice
and equinox. When the student has enough practice days to meet requirements, the student
may approach sensei and ask to test.
The student will be assigned to a sempai to conduct a pre-test. When both kohai and
sempai are satisfied, the student can then submit the test application.
Both kohai and sempai are responsible for the student's test. All mudansha (6th to 1st
kyu) are required to pay $5 as a testing fee.
