Ranking System


What it takes

Each level in our curriculum is represented with a colored belt. Sub levels are represented with tabs on the edge of the belt. Testing typically spans a week of classes once or twice a semester depending on school/holiday schedules. At the test students have the opportunity to advance as much as one full belt level. Passing is based on Attitude, Effort and Performance. 

Passing is not guaranteed, it is based on time and energy well spent in the classroom and at home. YMAA levels are gained through diligent practice and proper behavior.  If students practice regularly with good attitude and effort they should be able to earn at least one tab at most testings. Expectations of performance increase as students move through the levels. Students can also expect to be tested on material from previous levels.

Black Belt

The Black Belt represents more than just the material in the curriculum, it represents a major milestone in the training process. To earn their black belt students must demonstrate that they understand both the material and the spirit of kung fu. Black belt tests are scheduled separately from the regular kids tests. The black belt testing process is unique for every student but it involves performance of all previous material, demonstration of an understanding of the martial moralities and tough physical challenges
