Test Requirements<\/span>Kyu Test<\/span>Shodan<\/span>Above Shodan<\/span><\/div>
These (minimum) requirements are standard within the entire United States Aikido Federation (USAF).
\nHere is a \"PDF_Icon\" downloadable version of the test requirements from the USAF<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Here is the
\n\"PDF_Icon\"\"testform\" test application form for TCAC <\/a> you need to fill out once you have pre-tested for a KYU test. This has fillable fields to make it easier to fill out, but print out the form (select “documents” and not<\/strong><\/em><\/span> “documents and markups” so the little yellow boxes don’t show up on the printed copy) to turn in at the dojo. Make sure you have paid your USAF dues and are up-to-date with dojo dues.
\n<\/div>\n
If you are testing for Shodan<\/strong>, you need to fill out two forms for USAF:
\n\"PDF_Icon\" Dan Application Form for the USAF<\/a> <–Fill this out electronically (it has fillable fields), print it, sign it, and turn in. I think Cal is supposed to sign this as the “instructor”. Please also turn in a soft copy (electronic version)<\/span>
\n\"xls_icon\" Dan Application for Aikikai<\/a> <–Fill the second tab out “Shodan form 1 (Organization is “United States Aikido Federation”) electronically and print it. You sign it, have the tester sign it<\/strong> and turn in both electronic form and physical form. Fill out the 3rd Tab (the application for Udansha book) (it auto-fills out the green fields from the blue fields) Again use “United States Aikido Federation” for the organization.<\/span> Do not fill out the first tab.<\/span>
\n<\/div>\n
If you are testing for above Shodan<\/strong>, you need to fill out two forms for USAF:
\n\"PDF_Icon\" Dan Application Form for the USAF<\/a> <–Fill this out electronically (it has fillable fields), print it, sign it, and turn in<\/span>. I think Cal is supposed to sign this as the “instructor”<\/span>
\n\"xls_icon\" Dan Application for Aikikai<\/a> <–Fill the second tab out “2nd, 3rd, 4th Dan Form) (Organization is “United States Aikido Federation”), electronically and print it out. You sign it, have the tester sign it<\/strong> and <\/span>turn in both electronic form and physical form. Do not fill out the first tab.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
