The test is divided into two parts:

​

Part One

The student must:

• Correctly tie their belt

• Recite the EJJ Creed

• Demonstrate all mobility and strength drills flawlessly​

​

These drills must be performed flawlessly. No hints, assistance, or demonstrations will be provided during this portion of the test. The student is expected to execute each movement with confidence and precision.

​

If the student:

• Makes mistakes

• Performs movements poorly

• Requires help or verbal cues

​

The test will be cancelled and rescheduled for a future date. This policy is in place to ensure students only test when they are fully prepared and confident in their abilities. Once the student has practiced sufficiently and feels secure performing the drills independently, they may test again.

​

Mobility and strength drills consist of:

• 10 push-ups

• 10 sit-ups

• Sprawls

• Break fall

• Technical stand-up

• Front roll

• Back roll

• Pick-out drill

​

Part Two

The second portion of the test consists of 10 required technique drills, each worth 10 points, for a total of 100 points.​

• Up to 3 hints allowed per drill.

• If hints are provided by the instructor, the drill will be scored at 5 points.

• A maximum of three hints per drill is allowed.

• If more than three hints are needed, or if the instructor must demonstrate the technique, the drill will be voided and receive 0 points.

​

This scoring system is designed to encourage preparation, independence, and confidence under pressure.
