2023 Testing Dates For Belt Advancement

Belt examinations give students an opportunity to be tested on and showcase their skills in the presence of Grandmaster Kim and the other instructors. All eligible students should participate, and family and friends are openly invited to come watch and record video and take pictures! All students must wear their full uniform at the testing (no Kim's Academy t-shirts). Also don't forget that all regular classes are cancelled on examination day!

Colored Belt Examinations

Colored belt exams are held six times a year. Kim's Academy regularly holds the exam on the third Saturday of the exam month. We will post examination announcements one month prior to testing on the front door with specific times. Saturday is the main testing day, so please plan accordingly to attend. To be Eligible for testing, all students must have acquired all stripes on their belt. Please ask instructor if you have questions about requirements.

The testing dates for 2023 are as follows:

• As determined by Grandmaster Kim’s evaluation of readiness to test.

Black Belt Examinations

Black belt exams are held three times a year with no make-up exams. Black belt testing starts at 10:00 AM and has no definite ending time (due to the nature of the exam, and the varying number of examinees). Please see an instructor if you have any questions.

The testing dates for 2023 are as follows:

• Saturday, August 5, 2023

For questions regarding your student's readiness please see an instructor!

(Examination dates are subject to change due to an unforseen schedule conflict. We will post actual dates and times in the event of a change one month prior to exam date.)
