Students of Chun's Black Belt Academy show their progress in the color of the belt they wear. Each color belt is a step towards the goal of Black Belt. Requirements for each belt differ for children and adults. Each month our studenta make a progress check during regular class time. The purpose of the progress check is to make sure each student is progressing on schedule. Once the student has received 3 progress check, he/she is ready for the next color belt. If for some reason you miss a progress check or exam, please see Master Chun to arrange a make up time so as not to delay your progress.
