The Black Belt Test Weekend is a truly historic event as we gather for Grandmaster Na’s 100th Black Belt Test.
On Friday evening, candidates will undergo their official black belt test. This portion of the event is closed to spectators to maintain focus and tradition—only testing candidates may attend unless special circumstances have been approved in advance. This is the moment where years of dedication and training are measured, and each candidate demonstrates the skill, discipline, and spirit that defines a black belt.
On Saturday, we invite family, friends, and the PMA community to join us for the Black Belt Promotion Ceremony at Grandmaster Na’s. Here, new black belts will be formally recognized and presented with their belts and certificates in a celebration of legacy, perseverance, and achievement. This ceremony not only honors each individual but also connects them to a tradition nearly 50 years in the making.
