Rank tests will be held on the third Saturday of each month.

Private testing is available, please see Master Scorpion to determine eligilibility and scheduling.  Private tests are $10 more per student.

All students start class as a white belt.  Students transferring from other styles may wear their highest belt.

Terminology test must be passed before you are able to promote.

Testing will include push-ups, sit-ups, and other calisthentics (including but not limited to jumping jacks, wind sprints, running laps).  Expect to do at least a set (10) of exercises per rank (White to Yellow = 10, Yellow to Green = 20, Brown to Instructor = 70, etc.).
