KARATE TESTING CHECKLIST
Students of Karate should have the appropriate testing requirements initialed (as passing) and dated by designated Black Belt instructors prior to testing. (With this method, only students who are proficient will be allowed to test, and failure rates will be minimized).
Black Belt candidates should have all Karate testing requirements re-initialed; proficiency standards differ from testing as a lower rank to testing as an advanced student.
