How long does it take to test?
SMA, does not put a time limit on when someone will test. We test the students when we feel like that they can execute a level of proficiency.
If I have rank in another style of martial arts and I join SMA, can I keep my same rank and belt?
All students will be evaluated and the results will determine what belt rank will be held within our curriculum. We do not want to undermine any other prior achievements, but we do want the student to be successful in the style of traditional Shotokan Karate. (Please note that once you have earned a belt in another style, you do not lose your actual belt rank for that particular curriculum or school that it was earned in.)
