Primary testing for all Kickside schools will be held Saturday, October 17th. There will be no regular classes on this day at any location.

Location: Kickside of Princeton (301 N. Harrison St, #80 (Second Floor) Princeton, NJ)
Parts of the testing may take place in the center courtyard, weather permitting. We will send out an update email the Friday before the testing to confirm where students will check in.

Testing times and applications are for your current rank, not the new one.

Colored belt testing application (for White – Sr. Red)
Black belt testing application (for all Black Belt ranks)

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 September 25th need to wait until the next 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 the next 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.

Look for revised schedules for the week following testing.
