Download Testing Requirements Here

Any student applying for a kyu promotion must be a member in good standing. A member in good standing is current with all dues, follows the rules of the dojo and ASU, and demonstrates proper etiquette. To be eligible to test, a student must have completed the required classes of training and must have been training consistently for the number of months specified. The indicated number of classes and months are bare minimums. No student shall test for rank who (unless granted an exception for extenuating circumstances) has not contributed to the life of the dojo (cleaning, setting up, taking down, helping to promote the dojo in the community, etc.) or has not attended a minimum of two classes per week for the four month period prior to the test. Testing for the rank of fourth kyu or higher requires attending an ASU seminar within the prior twelve months before testing. Consent of the instructor must also be gained. Please note that no matter how many classes you attend in one day, one day's training only counts as one class (except in the case of seminar attendance). The fee for a kyu certificate is $35 for each kyu grade. All fees must be paid in advance of the test.
