This kyu promotion is by invitation only. More information and promotion applications are distributed upon invitation.
​
If you believe that you know your syllabus material and that you may be ready to promote to the next kyu, talk to your instructor at least one month before the next promotion date so that they may asses you and give you feedback.

Kyu promotions are *typically* (but not always) held four times a year in February, May, August, and November, for those moving to 8th kyu (Blue Belt) to 1st kyu (Advanced Brown Belt). Promotions to 9th kyu (advanced white belt) are usually in-class at an instructor's discretion without need for an application or fee.
