First Belt Testing

Your first belt test is a confidence belt. Meaning that you have started a new activity learned what the basic expectations are and now seeing the process for how we test skills and rank levels for advancement.

After white belt its a minimum 4-6 weeks for your first belt testing. Afterwards, it's 3 months between belt tests for Yellow through Green Belts. Then its 3-6 months for Brown and Red Belt Levels. One Year between Junior Black Belts. Multiple years between adult level Black Belts.

Belt testing is showing that you understand the common mistakes for your level and how to fix them. That represents Self-Discipline. This habit is more seen at the intermediate to advance levels.

For white belt and beginner levels (Less than one year of training) we look for respect which is listening the first time to your coaches. As we remind you to do the skills correctly you will build habits.

Self Defense is taught in phases:

Beginners learn the technique and skill with situational awareness.

Intermediate requires sparring, resistance and scenario training.

Advance requires grappling with wrestling, judo & jiujitsu with advance scenario training.

Black Belts are continued challenges with strategy, resistance and pressure testing.

“My son’s confidence is night and day from where we started. He’s not just stronger, he’s focused, respectful, and proud of himself.”

— Derek, dad & member


“At first, I just sat and watched my kids train every week. But something about the energy, the focus, the way they lit up after class… it moved me. I realized I wanted to feel that too. Not just for me, but to show my kids that growth doesn’t stop with age. So I joined. Now we train together, and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made as a parent.”

— Jason, proud dad & family member


“I wanted something fun for my kids, but I didn’t expect it would bring our whole family closer. This program changed everything for us.”

— Melissa, parent of 2 students
