January 2012 Testing
Holiday Greetings!
I hope everyone is having a joyous season. The next round of belt tests will be on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 3 p.m. The following students will be eligible to test:
- Zayd M
- Yusuf M
- Gregory M
- Ethan M
- Peter M
- Oliver G
- Aidan D
- Myles M
- Landon M
There are several other students who normally test during this cycle, but their records of class attendance are insufficient to qualify. Please be reminded that the three month promotion cycle presumes that students are attending classes an average of about twice weekly. If students do not attend with that frequency, it does not mean that they will not be able to test for promotion, but their tests will be delayed until they have attended the requisite number of classes. Those students who are scheduled to test in January whose recent attendance has been irregular should make special efforts to attend more routinely between now and the test date. Testing students should also review test requirements in the manual and speak with instructors about any required techniques that they have not yet learned.
March 2011 Testing
The next round of tests for belt promotions will be on Saturday, March 5th, 2011.
Students eligible to test are:
- Henry H - cho dan bo
- Michael G - 1st gup red belt
- Jack DH - 1st gup red belt
- David G - 1st gup red belt

- Landon M - 2nd gup red belt
- Andrew H- 2nd gup red belt
- Karen G - 4th gup brown belt
- Zayd M - 4th gup brown belt
- Yusuf M-4th gup brown belt
As always, eligibility to test is not a guarantee of promotion. In preparation, all candidates are encouraged to attend classes at least twice weekly if possible.
Candidates are also encouraged to study belt requirements carefully and to alert instructors to any required techniques or forms that you have not yet learned.
January 2011 Testing
The next round of belt tests will be conducted on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at 3 p.m. (immediately following the 2 p.m. class.) The following students are eligible to test:

As usual, students should review the testing requirements and contact an instructor if they have not yet been taught a required technique or form. They should also continue to practice during our holiday hiatus. The first class of the new year will be on Wednesday, January 5th in our usual room 270. (Thursday classes will be in room 240 - directly across the hall). As you know we will begin classes in our gym on February 2, 2011.
