Advancement of rank is based upon attitude, attendance and skill level.  It is possible to skip more than one degree at a time.  Test fees are per degree.

 

Some ranks have age and/or time in rank requirements.  On a rare case-by-case basis, your Sensei, with approval of Master Earl, may waive or reduce time frames.

 

Should a student in any way dishonor Order of the Dragon; their belt will be taken away, even if it is a Black Belt.  This includes improper behavior at all Tournaments.

 

At test time, students may also be tested using combinations of moves they have learned.

 

These are the basic moves for each rank.

Full Order of the Dragon uniforms must be worn at test time and at awards ceremony.
