Assignments
Each belt level has two assignments. Upon completion of each assignment you are awarded a stripe for your belt. One assignment will be free (no fee) and the other will require a $10 fee as it must be reviewed by a sensei. Once reviewed and passed, you will be notified and may add a stripe to your belt. You should consider assignments as a "progress check". This is a way for you, as a student and for me as your instructor to gauge your progress as you move towards your next belt level.
