Important Reminder to All Black Belts and Black Belt Candidates All Black Belts and Cho Dan Bo students need to download and read the following announcement from Master Vaughn regarding the essay requirement for testing. Right click on the following link and select "Save... As": Essay Requirement. NOTE: Your essay must be completed in advance of your Black Belt Pre-Test (held during Maintenance Testing) to allow sufficient time for your instructor/mentor, a member of the Testing Committee, and Master Vaughn to review it and return it to you for corrections. If you are testing for E Dan or higher rank, the subject of your essay cannot be the 5 Codes, the 7 Tenets, or the 14 Attitude Requirements. The final corrected version of the essay is due at the time of the Pre-Test. Failure to submit your final essay at this time will result in you having to wait until the next test cycle before having the opportunity to be invited to participate in Black Belt testing.
