After a test, there is a judges meeting to discuss each individual's performance according to their level and ability. The test per individual can be judged favorably in three ways.

Test results are given at the following class. Participants are awarded their belts and presented with an official certificate stating name, date, rank, and signed by the senior and master instructors respectively.
