THE GRADING SYSTEM

The grading system is basically in existence as a way to measure the students progress through the various levels of ability and understanding of Karate-Do. The rewards of these grading are many and are symbolized by the presentation of a colored belt.

Each grading should give a sense of accomplishment, the students recognizing it as the next step along the journey of the Martial Arts. Be happy with your progress, no matter what level you are at, but do not be satisfied with your capabilities and settle at any given grade.

The colored belts are awarded to students in recognition of training efforts and encourage the students to continue such endeavors in the future.  Grading also helps to establish seniority, the important Senpai/Kohai relationship, which in turn allows for the smooth running of functions and activities of the Dojo.

It is important to remember that the color of your belt does not make the Karateka, but it is the person wearing the belt that gives it is worth and acceptability. For those seeking quick promotions before they are truly ready, some find self-defeat through carelessness or false pride. Remember then, in Karate Do, no Karateka is greater than his master, and the master is no greater than the lowest ranking student.

 Students should always remember that grading is a privilege, not a right. Just because you have been a member of a dojo for some time, are friends with the senior students and so on does not give you the right to do grading when YOU please. The privilege to participate in a grading for ANY level is earned through dedicated, regular attendance and determined training.  The instructor has the last say as to whether you may participate in a grading or not. Do NOT take it for granted. No one is that good.

One of the worst practice one can adopt is simply turning up for training a few weeks before a grading to sharpen up a little, then expect the grading to fall into your hands. It is not that easy. Certainly, some students with talent can do this, but talent does not justify disregard for common courtesy. Such an attitude demonstrates a very fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of the grading system. It is common courtesy, to the instructor and to one's fellow students, to participate in the activities of the Dojo in a spirit of friendship and humility. In this way, the Dojo grows stronger and one's personality is broadened.

Of course, if one is genuinely unable to attend training more than once or tw ice a week then that is a different story. Such situations should be discussed with the instructor. From experience though, most instructors will be able to tell you that genuine reasons for failure to attend class are few and far between.

Note: With a few exceptions, you must be at least 16 years old to qualify for a black belt in our school.

MON GRADES In our Dojo we use the "MON" grades to separate the Junior Grade for the Senior Grades. MON is a Japanese word meaning Gate, Gateway or Entrance. A Gateway represent a step into another place, an entrance from one place to the next.  In this case a MON grade to the Kyu grade. For the students it means that once you reach the age of fifteen you take the step from a Junior grade to a Senior grade. The Gateway guides you on the right path to progress from a MON grade to a Kyu grade. Although many of the techniques you learn are the same a a Kyu grade, as you get older you will be expected to improve your speed, timing and strength. This comes with a lot of practice and patience. The MON rules apply to: Children up to 16 years old. Children under 8 years of age can only grade to 10th MON. Children from 8 years up to 15 years of age can grade directly to 10th MON. Change-over from Junior with MON grade to the KYU adult system: On the of his/her 16 years birthday the MON grade is automatically transferred to the equivalent senior grade, according to the table below. At the next grading you could be tested in all the previous techniques.
