virtual Testing Guidelines

If you are unable to attend your In Person Testing, you may participate in Testing via Zoom instead. (Except or students Testing for new Black Belt Ranks. Black Belt Testings must be done in person.) We will be using the same login credentials for Testing as we do for regular classes. Even if you have not done this for your regular classes, please SIGN IN TO ZOOM and set your name before logging into Testing. You can use this quick connect link or connect manually with Meeting ID: 724-283-5999 and Password: goals. To ensure Testing goes smoothly and is a fun experience for everyone, please review the information below.

​

​

  1. Choose your Testing space at home - Make sure you have as much room as possible around you to avoid obstacles or distractions during your Testing. You may want to temporarily move furniture or objects in the room to ensure you have plenty of space and your full body can be seen on camera. We need to be able to see all of your techniques and stances, so camera setup is important. To check out your camera view, open Zoom and click the Start Meeting button to start a meeting with only yourself in it. This will let you see the same view we will see of you at your Testing. Adjust your camera and space so that you can see all of yourself on the screen.​ You can end the meeting once you are satisfied with your camera view. 
     

  2. ​Make sure you wear your white uniform and belt for Testing, just like you would if we were Testing in person. 
     

  3. Have all your Testing supplies nearby and ready for use before Testing starts. You will need your weapons, a target pad or pillow and a partner for self-defense or board breaks if those are part of your Testing.
     

  4. Be sure you are signed into Zoom with your name before you join your Testing. We will be letting in participants from the waiting room based on the student or guests name. If we cannot identify you by name, you will not be able to enter Testing.
     

  5. You can invite family and friends to come watch your Testing from their own homes! Please email us the names that will be signing in as your guests so we will know it is okay to add them from the waiting room for your Testing. You may send them the login information privately (via text, email, phone, etc) so they can attend. Please do not share our login information publicly on social media to help us keep testing secure.
     

  6. Belt pickups can be scheduled during our normal business hours, Monday-Friday 2:30pm-8pm or Saturdays 9am-1:30pm. Please send us a message to setup your belt pickup day/time.
