Colored tape is used to track our students' progress. Stripes are added to the tips of the belt. There are 3 stripes for adults and 5 for children. As students progress through each belt, they earn stripes along the way.

Why Striping? 

Many Schools employ a 3 stripe system. Each stripe color represents a particular skill set

Technical Skills are important. At Palm Beach Martial Arts, we believe that building character in our students is equally important as technical skills

We have an additional 2 stripes, for children, on the other tip of the belt- "Character Stripes"

Testing                                                         

Tests are conducted every 3 months. The first week of:
January, April, July and October

At Palm Beach Martial Arts testing is a time to recognize and re-enforce our students' achievements and build self-confidence. Testing is a completely positive experience- for the students as well as their guests. Form and Self-Defense moves are tested in class while Board Breaking is performed during the graduation ceremony. The ceremony lasts about 1 hour. The day's of marathon testing are over. Each student's endurance is challenged in every class.

Transfer Students

Students entering from another school are allowed to keep their documented rank. Many times schools do not follow the same belt coloring schemes and a Brown belt at one school, for example, may equate to a Blue belt at our school- Same Rank.
