Testing is the opportunity for students to demonstrate their proficiency in Pai Lum in order to be able advance and learn more complicated material. Rising Dragon feels testing provides structure for the student as well as goals in order to help them attain their ideals in martial arts.

Testing in Pai Lum is second to none. All students must demonstrate all previous material at every rank test. It takes approximately one hour of testing per rank, so for example, a test for Green level can take six hours of rigorous testing under experienced, qualified sifus (instructors). The test for Black sash is a three day ordeal that thoroughly challenges a students physical and mental capacity that includes examination of every form, fist set, technique, weapon, chin na (locking techniques), swai jow (throws), information, sparring ability, teaching ability, and overall character and fortritude. Testing is by invitation of the Sifu only. When the Sifu determines the student is proficient in the material and has demonstrated good protocol and behavior, a student is invited to test. Students under 18 must have parents and school teachers sign a form that indicates the student has been well behaved at home and school, showing respect, and is doing chores and homework. Tests are available once a month under trained and professional instructors. An awards ceremony is provided at the end of testing. While testing is private, all family members and friends are invited to the awards and exchange of rank ceremony.  Passing students receive a sash and certification of their new rank.

Testing at Rising Dragon Martial Arts is very thorough and provided by experienced and professional instructors ranked in Pai Lum and in the Pan Chinese Confederation of Martial Arts and the U.S. Chinese Koushu Federation.
