Progression into the adults class is generally on an individual basis. Once a student feels ready, regardless of belt, we will assess them accordingly. Students generally stay in contact with the Super Ones program until 14. They enter the adult program on their current belt level and will have coloured tape attached on their belt as they progress through the adult belts, eventually, working toward the Full Black Belt by the time they are 15.
