The following is a description of our belt and striping system. Changing of belt levels will be done at a special promotions class that is held approximately four times a year. Master Jones will award stripes on a regular basis. White stripes indicate a student has been training consistently, is focused, has good spirit and demonstrates progress in the following areas:
- FORMS,
- WEAPONS
- DRILLS/TECHNIQUES
- BAG WORK
- STAND-UP SELF-DEFENSE AND
- GROUNDWORK.
This should be used only as a guide to the approximate timing of striping and belt promotion, for students who train twice a week, consistently.
