Information about grading

Gradings are optional but you have to attend them to attain a higher grade (belt).

Standard coloured belt gradings are conducted by examiners who are all qualified by International Taekwon-Do.  Adults/Youths can grade at a standard coloured belt grading a few times per year.  However grading at every grading is not usual, especially for senior coloured belts. 

Mini-kids (under 12) have a mini-kids grading at the end of each school term.  The club Instructors run these gradings. Young children (under 10) on the mini-kids programme complete a standard coloured belt grading approximately every 12-18 months.  Older children may progress faster. 

The Kubz programme also have a grading at the end of each term.  The Kubz instructors run the Kubz gradings.
