In
order to note the progress the student will have the
opportunity to sit grading’s (examinations) every
three months or as required in the grading syllabus.
Grading’s are held at the club in March, June,
September and December. On successfully passing a
grading the student is awarded their next belt and
presented with a certificate. Your first four
grading’s will be conducted by your club instructor
at your club, and all further grading’s thereafter
will be conducted by the association.
Please note if you only train once
per week you will have 6 month intervals for
gradings.
