Grading

Gradings take place every 4 months and are by invitation only. The cost of grading, which is payable in advance, is currently:

• £30 – Junior Belts
• £40 – Intermediate Belts
• £50 – Higher Belts
• £100 – Black Belt

Gradings take place on a Sunday with children and adults grading separately. Students will be tested on their ability to follow the drills taught during lessons, as well as being monitored using those skills within controlled sparring. Each grading lasts 1 – 1.5 hours depending on age and ability, with higher belt gradings of up to 2 hrs.

At the end of your grading, if you are successful, you will be presented with your new belt colour (see order of belts below). You will also receive a Certificate from the British Combat Association.

Remember to bring your red grading book and grading fees prior to grading!!
