To register for a yudansha (black belt) test:

• yudansha test applications should be supplied, or at least endorsed, by the chief instructor
• preliminary information in text form according to the required format has to be supplied to the Chair of the Examination Committee (EC) for distribution to the other committee members
• the test forms themselves must be correctly filled out and brought to the seminar/camp in advance of the test along with the necessary fee payments
• tests may not be authorized unless these procedures are followed.

If dojocho feel that presenting their students for senior tests is not feasible for any reason, including test location, timing or grading panel composition, please contact the Examination Committee to discuss possible solutions.

Thank you,
