Grading with Kerry Kickboxing Club
We typically run our gradings twice a year. One at Christmas time and the other at the beginning of the summer. It can take a minimum of eight years to earn the rank of black belt with us. In our grading examinations, all students and examined by 5th degree black belt Ian Kingston.
Our students are examined by the following headings: Dedication/ attitude and attendance (class attendance and effort made in classes) Focus and discipline (levels of concentration in class and effort made on improving technical ability) Upper body strength (push ups) Lower body strength (squats) Core strength (time held performing the plank) Fighting stance Flexibility Kicking techniques Boxing techniques Kata (pre-arranged series of techniques in a movement pattern against imaginary opponents) Self defense Sparring.
