When testing, Victory Martial Arts & Fitness students are competing more with themselves than with other students. This means that the instructors and test officiates look at each student as an "individual" and gauge how they as a "individual" can improve in order to achieve their next level belt. It is important that students are not be allowed to carry over bad habits from one belt level to another that are detrimental to the student's overall martial arts or character development.
White belt stripes are awarded to younger children to encourage their development as they continue to learn the fundamental elements of their practicing belt rank. Stripes are not given to teens or adults. Make no mistake, and advancement stripe carries the same weight as a solid color whole step advancement.
White striped belts are usually handed out in the given order presented herein. However, based on a student's performance, technical proficiency, character and overall attitude, a testing student can earn any level striped belt or solid color belt.
