Below are the minimum you will need to do for
your grading, The examiner at his choosing may ask you to perform
techniques or combinations that are higher than required by your belt to
use as additional information during the assessment. This also includes
doing any kata or technique from previous belt. Passes are awarded in 3
levels 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1st being the highest and in exceptional
circumstances a belt beyond that for which you are grading may be awarded.
As well as techniques, attendance, behaviour, effort and attitude will
be considered as elements of your grading!
Later belts instructions will only be given in Japanese as
understanding commands in Japanese is also an element of your grading!
Please bring ALL your safety equipment to all of your gradings as you
may be asked to spar at any grade level!
Gradings are approximately every 3 months, 4 times a year and can be
held at different venues and times. You should be informed by your
instructor, news letter, email and this website of dates and times of
gradings. Only in very exceptional circumstances will gradings be
performed outside of these times.
Do not be tempted to rush your gradings as taking a grading especially
at higher levels is no guarantee to pass. As a guide there should be 40
hours of training between gradings, so if you only train for 1 hour a week
this could be nearly a year between gradings. Students who fail a grading
are entitled to a free re-grading. However this does not have to be at the
very next grading.
