Why Testings Matter
Purple tip & belt testings go beyond simply evaluating skills;
they impart unexpected life lessons.
Here are a few of the invaluable insights practitioners gain through this process.
Perseverance: Testing day fosters determination in overcoming challenges and highlights the rewards of persistence. This is especially true in the settings of belt testings, where students are performing in front of an audience.
Growth Mindset: Embracing failures as opportunities, practitioners cultivate continuous improvement and adaptability. Ever missed a board break? Forgot your form? Those are learning opportunities.
Mental Focus: Testings teach composure under pressure, enhancing self-control and concentration.
Resilience and Confidence: Facing fears (like performing in a public setting) builds resilience, while success breeds quiet confidence. Testing is not a time to create arrogant students, but to refine steadfast calm and preparedness.
Teamwork: Group training fosters camaraderie, teamwork skills, and lasting connections. UNWAVERING SUPPORT is the name of the game.
