T-Shirt Policy & Pre-Testing Information

T-Shirt Policy
Now that we're deep into autumn, students will once again be required to wear full uniforms. Students are not allowed to use a BHMA T-shirt to substitute for the uniform top anymore. Enforcement of this rule will start Monday, October 24th.


Pre-Testing
Here's a little information for our new parents/students on how we'll run testing at Bill Hammond's Martial Arts:

Pre-testing will help us determine whether or not a student is ready to take their belt examination. Students who are ready will receive a "test paper" to fill out, which includes a new martial arts goal, as well as a home/school promise to made by youth students. A test paper is not a guarantee of rank advancement

Pre-testing will start Thursday, October 27th and end Saturday, November 5th. Students will pre-test during their regularly scheduled classes. Any student who is not eligible for the pre-test is still encouraged to attend for extra training. If you or your child cannot attend a pre-test within this time frame, let an instructor know ASAP.


New White Belts (Pre-Testing)
Only white belts who are officially signed up (past the trial period) will be eligible for pre-testing. If you or your child is officially signed up, you must have the additional uniform patches (USA & Korea) sewed onto the uniform. Seeing these patches will give instructors an idea on who may be eligible. If you need more information, see an instructor.


Testing Dates
The following are the fall test dates. Board breaking and belt ceremonies will immediately follow the examination. Exact times TBA.


Thursday, November 17th
Higher Ranking Youth Students (Current Purple Belts or Higher)

Friday, November 18th
Lower Ranking Youth Students (Current Green Belts and Below)

Date to be determined
