Yes, we encourage you to bring family and friends to watch the exams. Please advise them that there is certain etiquette expected of guests viewing an exam.

For example, they should not become a distraction by communicating with you during your exam. A great deal of focus and energy are required during the exam and these items need to be directed towards the exam and the specific technique that is being performed. There will be time for celebration and communication following the exam, and during graduation. Please note, family and friends are welcome to attend all exams until Black Belt. The qualification exam and pre-exams for Black Belt are intense personal experiences that are kept private. As such, the studio is closed for these exams. Family and friends must attend a parent teacher mock exam information session.
