Black Belt Mid-Terms/Tests

As a black belt in the ATA you have a certain number of mid-term tests to complete before eligibility to test for new rank. Black belts also have a minimum training period before becoming eligible to test for new rank. The minimum period is one year for each level of rank you have obtained. For instance 1st degrees have a one year training period. Fifth degrees have a five year training period, and so forth. The number of mid-terms required during those training periods is listed below:

Rank Mid-Terms
1st Degree 2
2nd - 5th Degree 3
6th - 9th Degree 4
