News: the latest Grading (Feb 2026)
Over 70 students earnt their next belt at the grading
Our latest grading took place on Saturday (28th Feb 2026) with over 70 students taking part. This included 38 white belts, 34 red belts, 4 yellow belts, 3 orange belts, 3 green belts and 1 brown belt.
Students are assessed at gradings by a panel of instructors, with 5 Sensei (instructors) and a Sempei working to oversee this particular grading. Students were tested on their knowledge and performance of the syllabus techniques to a given standard, and we are pleased to say that all of the students were able to pass the grading to achieve their next belt. This shows how hard everyone worked to get to this stage, so well done to everyone who took part.
Upcoming Easter Grading Course
Those students who are working towards their next belt might be interested in our Easter Grading Course which is coming up on 7th-10th April. Grading courses take place over multiple days and give students a chance to go over all of the techniques they need as well as grading up at the end if they are ready. Students up to Blue belt are assessed as part of the grading course (ongoing assessment), whereas Brown belt students are invited to an extra test at the end (like a normal grading) by the instructors if they are ready.
Please speak to your instructor for more information and to book onto the Easter Grading Course!
