How many classes do I need to graduate?
For white belt through blue belt you need a minimum of 16 classes (avg. 2x/week for 8 week rotation.) For blue stripes through brown belt you must have a minimum of 32 classes by your graduation date! (2x/week for 16weeks.)
What if we cannot make the test?
It is the students’ responsibility to learn their required curriculum in order to EARN each stripe and eventually their belt. This is also our opportunity for each student (of all ages) how to prioritize what is important to them. Any student that cannot make the graduation due a family function or emergency, we will award them their belt and certificate in class. However, if a student misses the graduation night due to a birthday party, sleep over, soccer game etc. OR if the student has not earned all four stripes, then that student will not be allowed to graduate until the rotation.
