Kids Belt Test: November
2025-11-21 18:30 - 20:00 | TX
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.
The test is cumulative, it covers everything you have learned since day one… not just the recent material.
Belt tests take place at Lakewood Dojo.
The only exception to this is if your child is a ZOOM online student only. All other students must test In Person. Zoom tests must be arranged ahead of time with Sensei Genevieve. Email info@dallaskenpo.com ahead of time to arrange a test for a Zoom-only student.
