Grading Information

KYU (BELT) GRADING

Saturday, April 21, 2012

All Members Registration:   9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

All Members Grading:   10:00 a.m. to end.

   Adults and Kids will grade together.

There will be a pizza party after grading!!

The gradings are held twice each year (Spring and Fall) and your annual membership fee covers the cost. Understand, this event is not a contest or an award ceremony, but a tool to enhance the study of Karate-Do. Students should prepare well and use grading and ranking to help motivate their daily training. Grading provides feedback on areas of strengths as well as weaknesses. We feel that all members will benefit by participating and should make every effort to attend.
