Please read these carefully before you book. They keep every grading fair, safe and running on time, and we apply them consistently. Booking a grading means you’ve read and agree to them — if they aren’t followed, the student won’t be able to grade that day.
Before you apply
❗If you do not know the material from your required syllabus, your attendance has been low, or Sensei has told you that you’re not ready, please do not apply for your test. 🙅♂️
The test
▶️The test will involve a physical & mental examination, where the syllabus for your next grade must be performed to a good standard. ✊
On the day
❗Arrive around 15 minutes EARLY for your test. If you arrive at the start time, or later, you will not be allowed to enter. ⏰
❗Wear a clean Karate suit with our club badge on the left side of the chest. 🥋
❗Older students (8+) must remember their gloves/mitts. 🥊
▶️Please make sure all longer hair is tied back, and nails are clean & short. 🪮
Spectators
▶️Parents are welcome and encouraged to WATCH the gradings! Just come in with your child if you’d like to spectate. 👀
▶️Anyone spectating the test must do so in silence, with phones set to silent or switched off. 📵
Results & questions
▶️Results, including belts and certificates, will be given to the students on the day. 🥳
▶️If you have any questions regarding the tests, please speak with Sensei. 🙋♂️
⛔ You will not be allowed to grade if:
- You arrive at or after the start time.
- You don’t know your syllabus, your attendance has been low, or Sensei has said you’re not ready.
- You’re not in a clean gi with the club badge (and gloves/mitts for ages 8+).
Not sure about any of this? Ask Sensei before booking.
