Summer Belt Test PMA UTC

Provided below is information on when students will test and graduate.

All white belts that started before June 1st are eligible for promotion. All other belt ranks require 6 stripes to promote. If they have 2 stripes already, they will be eligible to make up 2 stripes in testing in addition to 2 stripes that are earned during testing week. A student can make up to 2 extra stripes per test, so make sure any homework is ready to turn in. Students that started after June 1st, we will sponsor your testing but you will not promote. Our goal is for everyone else to test & promote, if you don't meet the stripe requirements, contact us to see how you can make them up.

Anyone that does not register by the deadline will be autobilled with the late fee as described in the members' signup checklist. It is a guardian's responsibility to contact us if they are not allowing a child to promote due to behaviors outside of the class or if they are unable to attend testing for any reason. For "off-the-mat" issues, we prefer to be alerted long beforehand and allowed a child a time period to improve their behavior.

For those traveling extensively this summer, there will be a boot camp in August to catch up on what was missed, including June belt testing.

Please contact us with any questions on testing and eligibility.

White through orange belts will test during their normal class times June 22-27.

Intermediate & Advanced testing for Purple belts & above is June 22nd from 11am-2pm.

Red belts only promote every 6 months. (They are still required to participate in intermediate/advanced testing if not up for promotion. Their testing is sponsored if not up for promotion.)

All students that pass their test will be invited to belt graduation to be presented with their new rank and diploma.

Graduation will be held on Saturday, June 29th 2-3:30pm at Community Day School Gymnasium, 4335 Wilkinson Rd, Sarasota, FL 34233. Graduation is not required to receive your belt but it is an amazing experience and celebration for family & friends to come join and watch our members show off! Please email us at info@pmautc.com if you are able to help with setup and/or tear down.

Keep training til the belt turns black!
