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.

Style: KAPAP Krav Maga

Governing Body: International KAPAP Association United Kingdom (IKAUK)

The first belt to be awarded is White Belt.

White belt gradings demonstrate correct execution and understanding of basic techniques and are taken 6-8 weeks after training has begun. This varies depending on a student’s ability.

Depending on a student’s attendance and level of ability it will take between 3 and 5 years to earn a Black Belt in KAPAP Krav Maga.

Kids Kickboxing

Style: Junior Kickboxing

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

The first belt to be awarded is Yellow Belt.

Yellow belt gradings demonstrate correct execution and understanding of basic techniques and are taken 6-12 weeks after training has begun. This varies depending on a student’s ability.

Orange Belt through to Brown Stripe gradings are generally every 3 months.

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

National Recognition:

The Trinity Martial Arts syllabi for Kids Kickboxing Classes and Krav Maga & Self Defence Classes are ratified by our governing bodies, the BMABA and IKA-UK, so student’s can rest assured that their gradings and the earning of their belts are nationally recognised.
