We extend our warmest welcome to you on joining
United Martial Arts Academy. When you first walk
into our studio, you will notice that various
students wear different colored belts, and you may
wonder why. Out of respect to our traditional
martial arts heritage, we at the United Martial
Arts Academy use colored belts to denote accomplishment
and mastery of skill. As you move forward in your
training, you like thousands of students who have gone
before you, will be allowed to wear a colored belt
that symbolizes the level of your achievement.
Within a few weeks of joining United Martial Arts Academy you will be invited to your first belt test. After demonstrating your skill in several of the many basic techniques that you will already have learned, you will be awarded your first rank; the yellow belt. With each colored belt you will also receive the United Martial Arts Academy certificate of promotion which is recognized everywhere.
Testing Procedure
Each test has a specific number of techniques to learn
and skills to achieve. Your instructor, upon watching
your progress, will invite you to tne next scheduled
testing when he feels that you are ready. In the
beginning, you will find that your belt tests are
scheduled closer together and are shorter in length.
As you get further along and your knowledge and skill
increases, your belt tests will be further apart and
will take longer to complete. All tests are held in
complete safety under the personal direction of your
chief instructor and
Randy Osborne,
7th Degree Blackbelt.
A
minimal fee
is charged for testing, which
covers registration, a new belt and a certificate of
promotion upon successful completion of the test.
Extra sessions are available prior to posted test
dates to ensure your success.
