Gradings
Gradings are to mark your progress as skills improve. Different coloured belts are awarded at regular intervals when the required skill levels have been achieved. Generally promotions are every 3-4 months until you reach blue belt level if you maintain regular training. After that you will grade every 6 months. It is possible if you attend regularly and meet all grading targets to achieve black belt in 3 ½ years. In reality this is usually 4-4 ½ years.  

Obviously, you are accessed mainly on the level of skill you have acquired, but other factors are taken into account and are as important as skills. Your general attitude and work ethic, courtesy and respect shown to others and self control, are all essential elements taken into account.

Gradings take place at the school, up to red belt gradings are during normal class time. Red belt and above are on Saturdays alternating between Maidstone and Gravesend Schools.
