Grading Dates: 2027

Foundation Programme (4-8's) gradings will take place 4 times within the year, approximately every 3 months.
Junior Self-Defence Programme gradings in Junior KAPAP Krav Maga and Junior Kung Fu & Kali will take place 3 times within the year, approximately every 4 months.
Teens & Adult Programme gradings will take place approximately every 4-6 months.

All gradings take place at weekends, outside of normal class times. Gradings will usually be on Saturdays, starting at 11:30am, although there may be multiple gradings over a weekend. Grading times will be confirmed in the grading invitation emails.

In the vast majority of cases, awards will take place at the end of the grading, instead of successful students having to wait until the following week to receive belts and certificates.

Students should arrive at least 10 minutes before their allocated start time in full uniform. This includes a clean club t-shirt, current belt and gloves. Late arrivals may not be allowed to attend the grading.
Student Licence Books should be brought to the grading and handed in at the front table after entering onto the mats. Stamped Licence Books will be returned to students the week following a grading.

Students are not automatically eligible to grade at every grading: Eligilibilty will be based on individual ability, attendance and completing the required amount of training hours between each belt. Invitations to grade will be emailed 1-3 weeks before each grading.
Parents will be invited onto the mats at the end of the grading when new belts and certificates are awarded to successful students.
Grading Fees: These are subject to change over time and will be shown in the grading invitation emails sent out in the lead-up to gradings.
