Individual Video Rank Testing

In most Martial Arts schools the tests for promotion are scheduled by the Instructors. What happens if you are weeks away from being ready? Either you’re forced to take the test at that time and possibly fail or you’re left behind and have to wait until the next test, which could be months away. Another problem with most tests is that they are given in mass. There are usually from ten to twenty students taking it at the same time. There’s no way to truly evaluate each performance. And there’s no way to make corrections. Sifu Patrick Fannes video test is conducted on an individual basis, so a far greater degree of personal attention is given to each student. With a video test, the student’s performance is meticulously evaluated. An evaluation is completed, detailing the errors to be corrected and how to remedy them. Certificates are only awarded if the testing results are satisfactory. If your performance is not satisfactory, an evaluation form will be sent to you pointing out areas that need improvement. You should not be discouraged if you don’t achieve advancement on your first try, just review the evaluation form and work on improving your skills. You may retest within six months of your first evaluation.

Testing fees will vary according to different levels.
