Terminology | Rules | Shotokan Katas | Testing
Students must have all four stripes (Yellow, Red, Blue, and Black) and attend the minimum number of classes that are required for their next rank before they are eligible to test.
A student will receive a stripe when they have completed all of the techniques or goals for that rank. Stripe testing is done randomly in class. See the 2009 Dojo Calendar on the News/Events page for upcoming promotion exams.
