In episode 36 of Tatami Talk with Juan and Anthony. We are revisiting the topic of testing for promotions in Judo. Since  most people can't compete as much as they want to and used to, because  of the pandemic. Some instructors are having to change the way they promote their students. What should students be tested on at what rank?  How should you test your students? How much of a promotion should be based on the test itself or you're in class work and past competition work?
