Gradings

We have a minimum of 4 gradings per year over the 2 club locations.   

To be eligible to grade, students must train regularly for a minimum of 1 hour session per week. 

White to Red Belt students must have at least 3 months’ training between gradings. 

Red Belts must have at least 6 months’ training before grading to Black Tag*. 

Black Belt gradings are held separately to colour belt gradings. 

To grade to first Dan, students must train for at least 1 year*. 

After achieving first Dan, training time between gradings will increase according to Dan grade. 

*At these stages students can attend special seminars to make up training hours.
