GRADING

WHITE & YELLOW BELT GRADING

After you have completed all the prerequisite requirements, and received your tags on your belt, it is now important to receive your instructor's permission to grade. There may still be aspects outside of the eight tags that you need to complete or become competent with.

Please also remember that even though your instructor has tried their upmost to prepare you for the grading, in the end it is up to you to earn your next rank not them. Without effort, determination, dedication and desire, you will struggle in the grading and your next belt may elude you.

However if you strive your hardest and train with constant improvement in mind by the time you grade you will take your next belt. There are no gifts, belts are earned never given.

 

What to expect on Grading Day

It is important that you arrive 15minutes before the grading is scheduled to begin. This will give you plenty of time to register for the grading, locate a seat with your family and friends to watch, prepare your gear and hydrate.
