Testing Procedures:

  • A list of eligible students for this testing will be posted in the lobby. Please check for your/your child’s name on the list BEFORE filling out a testing application.
  • Brown belts and above must get their board breaks approved by an instructor, then list them at the bottom of their testing application.
  • If you need a different belt size than the one listed on the testing list, please let us know!

Students are required to know their belt information, earn necessary stripes, and attend the required minimum number of classes for their level. Please visit the belt info page for a list of all this information.

Make-up testings are available the Tuesday after testing. Cost is $25. Private make-up testings available at private lesson fees, and only as schedule allows.

Sparring Gear and Black Belt Packs: Order on the KickShop 

Sr. Yellow Belts and any other students who need replacement sparring gear items MUST order through the Kickside Martial Arts KickShop. Due to minimum order requirements, students who miss the ordering deadline of February 15th need to wait until June testing to receive their gear order. 

Sr. Red and Black Belts who need black gear packs, upgraded heavy-weight embroidered uniform, and weapons should also order through the KickShop. Additional fees may apply for any rush orders, or students may need to wait until the next group order is placed for June testing in order to avoid rush fees. 

BOARD BREAKING: Brown Belts and above must supply their own boards for testing. It is recommended that you bring extra boards in case one breaks accidentally during a practice or set-up. Breaks must be approved prior to testing and written in on the student’s testing application. You may purchase bundles of 25 through our KickShop. See board breaking page for more information.

Momentum Week will take place the week following testing. Special events and schedule changes will be posted in the school. Students are also encouraged to bring a friend or family member in for a fun class!

Rank ceremonies will take on February 28 at Kickside of Hillsborough
No regular classes on that day at all locations.
