NOTE:
All of the materials in testing must be done with correct footwork and proper body mechanics.
In cases where a student is to repeat previous material for examination purposes (ie Labsika III), the student must show a distinct degree of improvement from the previous examination both in memory and movement.
During Exams two mistakes are permissible. When a mistake is made, the student is expected to do the sequence again. On the third mistake the student fails the exam.
