Advanced Testing Etiquette

Advanced testing is coming up which means, students will be testing for advanced levels directly in front of Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong. Here's a quick overview of what the applicants will be expected to perform:

Testing etiquette 

Be early to warm up, and turn in testing application and testing fees. Most students show up an hour before testing, half an hour at the latest. All paperwork must be received prior to the test, students without the correct applications will not be permitted to test. Also, students may only test for one rank at a time, there is no skipping of ranks/stripes.

Uniform

Uniform must be clean and presentable,  consisting of the Plum Blossom Federation white top, red or blue sash with appropriate stripes and current fringe,  black pants and shoes. 

Food and Drinks

Because of the stress already in testing and because it will take a couple hours, we'd like to make it a more comfortable environment and encourage testing applicants to bring juice, gatorade, fruit and other snacks to enjoy throughout the test. Bring enough to share with Grandmaster, and other students.

Equipment

Students must be prepared with the necessary equipment for their test such as weapons and/or any other supplies.  

Application

Students must present a testing application signed by their instructor. This will avoid any confusion as to which level the student is trying to achieve, and ensures they have permission from their instructor to do so. Testing applications must be submitted before the test.

Testing

Testing will take 2-3 hours, and students will be tested on their entire curriculum. All forms from basic to advanced levels must be prepared and ready to perform.
