UPCOMING GRADING DATES..

Colour Belt Grading - Saturday 7th July 2012
Full details are available from within the club.

The Saturday Kids class and Adults Open session will be cancelled.

------------------------------------------------------------

BELT STRUCTURE..

This will always vary from club to club. A student from another club may have the same colour belt as you but be a higher or even lower grade. Because of this you should never assume they are more or less capable than you are. A belt is merely a mark of what level you are at in your own club. The Fusion's belt structure goes as follows..

------------------------------------------------------------

GRADING SYLLIBUS..

Students will be expected to perform to the best of their ability through a variety of sections relevant to their current grade. These will be similar to those practiced in normal lessons, for example focus pads, basics and sparring.

------------------------------------------------------------

SCORING SYSTEM..

Your grading will take you through a number of sections, each of which will be given a score. These scores will be totaled up at the end of your grading and your dictate your final mark. The lower your score the better.

7-14 points = First class pass, this is rare and an excellent score to achieve.
15-24 points = Second class pass, This is the norm and an acceptable pass.
25-35 points = Third class pass, A low score meaning big improvements must be made before you can grade again.
