Points and Service Requirements: In addition to time in grade and age, it is expected that Black Belt Candidates achieve a number of service points. These can be received by serving on testing panels, competing and judging at tournaments, teaching, and assisting with other school functions. Consult with the instructor for more details on these requirements

Time in Grade and Age Requirements: The Black Belt rank requires more than proficiency in physical technique. The time required in each rank allows the students to develop the mental maturity expected to properly represent the rank and the  CFTP Association. The Black Belt Candidates must be at least 7 years of age to test for a Black Belt rank.
