belt testing

Martial arts assessment

Belt testing is the formal evaluation process in martial arts where students demonstrate skills to advance to the next rank, typically indicated by a colored belt.

The tests usually involve performing techniques, forms, and sometimes sparring before instructors or a panel: She's been practicing for her belt testing next week.

The phrase appears most often in disciplines like karate, taekwondo, and jiu-jitsu that use belt colors to mark progression.
