Evaluations are held throughout the year roughly every three (3) months, typically the first weeks of February, May, August and November. We encourage each of our students to participate in all evaluation opportunities.
We advise our students to view their evaluations as a two-fold teaching aid for both themselves and the instructors; providing feedback on items that may require more work on the students part, but also enlightening the instructors regarding training items that can be incorporated as additional focus areas in the standard curriculum.
The evaluation process also plays an integral part in helping develop a student's confidence in their martial art, by providing a forum in which their dedication and hard work can be displayed. It's never about being "ready," or simply making sure you have enough requirements to promote to the next belt level.
