TECHNICAL AND PROMOTION PROGRAM
JUNIOR & SENIOR
STUDENTS
INTRODUCTION: In order to improve our student’s
development, instructors will encourage students to qualify for higher ranks which
can eventually lead them on the “Road to Blackbelt”. At least once a month the students can
request to be evaluated on techniques so that they can qualify for their next
rank. A record will be kept for each student in a loose leaf book. If the student does not successfully
demonstrate a technique, the instructor will note the area needed for
improvement to help the student. When
the student has successfully demonstrated all of the required techniques, the
student will be considered for promotion.
For interim promotions within a colored belt, stripes will be awarded. To finally qualify for a higher colored belt
(i.e., Yellow to Orange belt) the student needs to demonstrate their ability in
free practice and “randori” and or competition “shiai”. Attendance and a good attitude is essential.

Administration:
Senseis will explain the promotion system to their students. The senseis for each group will maintain a notebook which includes the individual members checklist that shows the techniques that the student thinks he/she know and the ones they have been tested for. It is mandatory that a checklist be filled out by each student so that the senseis can plan their teaching and when to recommend a student for promotion.
Whenever a student wants to be tested for any technique (s), he/she can ask their sensei who will arrange for a test. Since the dojo only meets twice a week, students are encouraged to study techniques on their own from books, DVDs, Youtube and clinics.
