Testing for adult Aikido Ranks and Ki Ranks is conducted at the main dojo about every three months. The tests are usually on Saturday beginning at 4 pm, and takes about 2 hours. Everyone with the required classes are encouraged to test:
24 classes for Shokyu Ki test,
24 classes after Shokyu for Chukyu,
30 classes and 3 months for 5th Kyu Aikido test,
30 classes after 5th Kyu for 4th Kyu.
Check your handbook for other requirements.
"Kyu Tips", Mort Melman's famous test preparation training, is usually scheduled for the three Friday evenings before testing. Whether you come to work on testing requirements or help others prepare to test, all are welcome to come to attend this training. Click
