An Academy grading (this being the test that students take in order to progress through the different stages of Kickboxing) will be held every 3 months. Usually in MARCH, JUNE, SEPTEMBER and DECEMBER. Occasionally due to our Squad team competition schedule these dates are subject to slight change. To be able to attempt to grade a student MUST be in possession of an up to date UNITED KINGDOM MARTIAL ARTS FEDERATION LICENCE. Also a letter of invite MUST be received either from a club coach or our Head coach. A licence and insurance policy MUST be renewed EVERY year. On a letter of invitation to a grading it will state when, where and what type of grading is to be assessed for.

A student MUST perform and pass ALL ten sections of that particular syllabus in one grading. Passing will result in presentation of a full colour belt and certificate. The date and pass mark will then be entered into your licence book for official recognition.

A student MUST perform and pass ANY five sections of that particular syllabus in one grading. Passing will result in the presentation of a half colour belt (I.e White belt with a red stripe etc). To complete the grade a student MUST perform and complete the remaining sections in the next available grading. Completion will result in presentation of a full colour belt, certificate and your licence book up dated. (Only one grading fee is applicable, we do not charge twice for a split grading)

If a student is unsuccessful in a grading, one FREE invite to the next available grading will then be received.

For each Grading/ belt , there is a suggested minimum amount of training required. This is to ensure that each student has the time and correct tuition to complete a Grading successfully. The lessons calculated per week are for guide purposes only as an example of how best to achieve that particular grade/ belt. However, the training time in months between each Grading is a set system that allows NO EXCEPTION.

Red to Yellow belt

Suggested minimum training: 1 lesson per week over 3 months.

Green to Blue belt

Suggested minimum training: 2 lessons per week over 3 months.

Purple to Brown belt

Suggested minimum training: 3 lessons per week over 6 months.

Brown white belt to Black belt
