AAA Promotion Requirements

OGI Aikido    Events    Philosophy    Dictionary    Forum

These requirements are a minimum standard for the purposes of promotion testing; this is not a comprehensive listing of all the applications of technique with which you must be familiar.

Many techniques have omote (front) and ura (rear) variations that you must know.

Many techniques have applications against both static and dynamic attacks that you must know.

In certain cases a particular variation of a technique is required and noted as such above; you are encouraged, however, to demonstrate additional variations.

All tests are cumulative; you must be prepared to demonstrate exercises and techniques from all ranks prior to the one for which you are actually testing.

All test candidates must complete the following prior to testing:

• Dojo dues must be paid up to date.
• AAA or AAI annual dues must be paid up to date.
• Examination application form must be completed legibly and submitted to your instructor.
• Examination fee must be paid.

No application for promotion testing will be accepted by the test committee with the knowledge and consent of the candidate's instructor.
