GRADINGS – PROGRESSION

Continual Improvement & Progression at Trinity Martial Arts & Self Defence:

Advancing through the belt systems requires regular class attendance, focus, effort, discipline and practice.

Over time and as experience is gained, students are able to progress through a belt system, learning and demonstrating ever more complex techniques.

Assessment of a student’s level of ability is carried out at set intervals and after specific techniques from the syllabus have been learned.

These assessments are called Gradings.

Governing Body: British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA)

Minimum Age: 5+

The first belt to be awarded is White Belt.

White Belt is awarded shortly after starting training, when students are able to demonstrate that they are able to follow instruction and maintain concentration during class. The time to achieve this depends on a student’s ability.

Yellow Belt through to Brown / Red Belt gradings are held every 4 months.

Black Belt gradings can only be taken at least 6 months after achieving a Brown / Red Belt. The Chief Instructor will decide when a student is ready to grade for their Black Belt.
