Classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays, times are as follows:

Intermediate classes start at 6:15pm until 7:45pm

Senior classes start at 7:45pm until 9:15pm

We take students from 6 years of age onwards. However a child's development varies at such a young age, therefore if I feel the training is too much for them to take on board I reserve the right to defer their training to a time when they are capable of understanding what is asked of them.

The grades needed to achieve Black belt are:

• 8th Kyu – Yellow belt
• 7thKyu – Orange belt
• 6th Kyu – Green belt
• 5th Kyu – Blue belt
• 4th Kyu – Purple belt
• 3rd Kyu – Brown belt 1 tab
• 2nd Kyu – Brown belt 2 tab
• 1st Kyu – Brown belt 3 tab
• 1st Dan – Black belt

Dan grades are in yearly intervals for example;

1st Dan to 2nd Dan – minimum 2 years

2nd Dan to 3rd Dan – minimum 3 years

Grading is every 3 months until the student reaches 4th Kyu, then every 6 months until 1st Kyu.

The experience needed is a minimum of 20 lessons between each grading up to 4th Kyu, then a minimum of 40 lessons between each grading from 4th Kyu to 1st Kyu.

Students under 16 years old must wait 12 months to grade from 1st Kyu to Black belt 1st Dan, over 16 years can grade after 6 months.
