POST

PERFORMANCE

REVIEW

The POST-PERFORMANCE REVIEW will be held on June 1st at the Atkinson dojo. The test will begin sharply at 10am and all candidates are welcome to arrive a half-hour before. For this, please use the entrance in the rear.

Like the event on March 23rd, this with be a CLOSED DOOR REVIEW. We have found that test candidates perform their best without the added pressure that an audience of family members, spouses, and friends create. Review will be recorded and made available to each candidate.

During this event, the candidates will perform their required testing curriculum (below) with the exception of Sparring and Written test, which will be administered at their home dojo. All candidates will be standing in front of four to five master ranking judges with over a hundred years of combined experience!

Depending on the performance at the review; some will be ready to continue on a PROVISIONAL graduates. This is the portion of the Black Belt Testing where the candidate proves their ability to CONTINUE acting and performing as someone of their upcoming rank.

If you have any issues with these links, please do not hesitate to CALL/TEXT or EMAIL me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Marcus Traynor | Director – Uechiryu Butokukai
