Testing For Rank
ALL RANKS CERTIFIED BY AMERICAN SPORT KARATE ASSOCIATION
We extend our warmest welcome to you on joining AMERICAN SPORT KARATE ASSOCIATION. When you first walk into our studios you will notice that various students wear different belts and may wonder why. Out of respect to our traditional martial arts heritage, we at the American Sport Karate association use colored belts to denote accomplishment and mastery of skill. As you move forward in your training, you like thousands of students who have gone before you, will be allowed to wear a colored belt that symbolizes the level of your achievement.
With in a few weeks or months of joining ASKA you will be invited to your first request for examination, or belt test. After demonstrating your skill in several of the many basic techniques that you will already have learned, you will be awarded your first rank, the Yellow belt. With each colored belt you will also receive the ASKA certificate of promotion and achievement which is recognized anywhere in the world.
The testing procedure: Each test has a specific number of techniques and moves to learn and skills to achieve. Your instructor, upon watching your progress, will invite you to the next scheduled testing when he feels that you are ready. In the beginning, you will find that your belt tests are scheduled closer together and shorter in length. As you get further along and your knowledge and skill increases, your belt tests will be further apart and will take longer to complete. All tests are held in complete safety under the personal direction of your chief instructor and examination officer. A minimal fee is charged for testing which covers the examining officer's and instructor's time a new belt and an ASKA certificate upon successful completion of the test. Extra sessions are available prior to posted testing dates to ensure your success.
