On Saturday, November 16th, Elkhorn Flying Dragons will host our next color belt promotional exam. Test papers are on the mat and ready for students to pick up. If you are on the fence or unsure if you are ready to test, please speak with Master Nick, Miss Amanda, or any of our instructors for more information. As a reminder, the computer tells us if you qualify to test, but only you can determine if you are ready.
This is going to be a big testing group and we want things to run smoothly.
November Color Belt Testing Schedule

Color Belt Test Papers
Please return your test papers no later than Thursday, Nov 14th, 2024.
In front of the dojo, Miss Amanda prepared test papers for everyone who had the classes and time in rank to test. The system sometimes misses things. If you think you might be ready and do not see a paper, talk to Master Nick or Miss Amanda. Sometimes computers get things wrong, and we’d be more than happy to manually count classes and talk about it.
