Exams are held on the last class of each month.
Students test for their White Belt after the first month of training.
Students testing for Gold Belts and higher need to turn in the EXAM SHEET and FEE to
Mrs. Jackson before their exam to reserve your belt. If not turned in, we will assume that your child is not receiving your permission to test.
