At Mokuren Dojo, we have always scheduled rank advancement demonstrations (embu) to occur any time 1-2 students would become ready to advance. We're going to continue to provide excellent, individualized instruction, but we're going to start doing a slightly different thing with rank embu.
.
Starting immediately, we will be having quarterly ranking embu during March, June, September, and December. Specific dates will be announced the month before, at which time, any student who feels ready can sign up to do the rank embu.
Embu are formal events. In order to attend a rank test embu, each ranking student will need to wear a clean, proper judo gi and will need to be current on their monthly dues. Check out this article about how to do a nice-looking embu. If you need additional coaching on this, schedule some extra class time with sensei.
