Gradings are an important part of a persons Martial Art Training for several reasons. They allow the student to monitor their progress against a fixed standard. They also allow them to practice safely in any club within the organisation, permitting the instructor and fellow students to work with the student at a level in keeping with their experience. Gradings also allow the organisation to plan for the future. Our grading schedule, and training program, is designed to take the willing student from beginner to blackbelt and ultimately beyond. From this pool of experience the organisation will produce instructors who will be able to teach with understanding, passing on their knowledge to ensure the continuation of our style and Martial Arts in general.
