When you have all six of the colored skills stripes, you may be promoted to the next rank. Younger students are promoted in class, while students age 7 and up with all of their stripes are eligible for the cumulative belt test on the last Friday of the month.

Belt tests usually take place at Lakewood Dojo, but are currently being held at in person at Flagpole Hill Park or on Zoom due to COVID19 social distancing requirements. In person tests from 10 to 11 am and Zoom tests run from 6:30-8:00pm. The test is cumulative, it covers everything you have learned since day one… not just the recent material.
