Gradings

All Gradings, Gup and Dan (White, Coloured belts and Midnight Blue) will take place on 9th October 2021 at Hampshwaite Memorial Hall Hollins Ln, Hampsthwaite, Harrogate HG3 2EJ.

Candidates will be emailed and invited to apply for Grading. If you believe you are eligible to grade and have not been contacted please email the office. Please wait until Wednesday 29th as we are working through the candidates.

All Grading candidates will be at the Hall ready to enter the Grading at 10.30am.

Only on Saturday 9th October Collingham class will not take place and neither will the online class. Instead the Chief Instructor will run a Class pre Grading from 9.30 - 10.30 at Hampsthwaite. Any club member, grading or not, is welcome to train with the Chief Instructor. This is a rare fantastic chance to train with the boss! Dan students will jump at this chance and Gup Grades are highly encouraged to join. Due to this, numbers will have to be limited so please book the class early it is available now on the website shop.

All Students who are Grading will wear a full clean and pressed Do Bok, T-shirts are acceptable for the previous class.

We are mindful that this grading will be challenging after Covid suspended so many classes. We wiill be looking for commitment and spirit in the Karateka as much as the skills learnt. Gup Grades will only be expected to know the syllabus for your next grade. You will also Grade alongside each other. Dan Grades who are not Grading are welcome to remain after the first class and assist.

All grading applications can be made in the Club Shop. Any questions or concerns please email enquiries@martialartsforlife.co.uk
