Grading is an event, like a lesson, where students perform their syllabus in order to earn their next grades (belts). This is sometimes called “belt testing”.
We grade every 3 months. Normally this is in March, June, September, and December.
Not everybody grades at every grading. Only students who have the required attendance, attitude/behaviour and technical skills can grade.
Grading costs £30 for one student, £50 for two students, or £70 for three students. This follows the same rules as the family/household discounts.
Students must have a traditional white Gi, sparring equipment, and a valid license to be allowed grade. If you do not have a license, get one here.
