Assessment grading exam will be the week before the grading dates shown

Assessment Grading exams free but lesson fee applies

To be eligible to do the grading exam  you must have been assessed

Please note members wishing to grade must have a Karate suit and valid

insurance

Grading Mock assessment exam means

We assess the children the week before we put them into the exam

We do this as children have a 99% chance of passing as they are so young at lower levels and want to build their confidence

As grading levels get harder we are harder with our decisions

If a child is not ready to grade we think it is best to tell them before putting them through a grading exam

Grading exam means

Changing the colour of the belt by achieving moves, combinations and katas

These grading exams get harder as you work up the levels

You will be upgraded to a more advanced class when achieving certain levels

This will keep the interest to students as, like school, classes get more interesting as they move up levels and no reason to go over beginner training lessons

The lower mock assessment grading and gradings will be held in the normal venues you train in

Brown and black belt gradings are held twice a year on Saturday afternoons at our Bellingham venue

Please note any brown or black belt who has not attended three

referees' courses between each grading are not eligible to grade
