GRADING SYSTEM

 

Grading examinations are held every three months at the Konjaku Shin National School of Karate, with Japanese Master HANSHI  SHIRO ASANO 9th Dan. These grades are recognised World-wide.
There is a minimum waiting period of three months for the grades 9th to 3rd kyu. The minimum waiting period for the grades of 2nd and 1st kyu is six months. Minimum waiting period from 1st kyu brown belt to 1st dan black belt is also six months. These periods vary, depending on each students progress, and the amount of training put in.
The minimum waiting period between each dan grades corresponds to the dan grade number itself, i.e: 1st dan to 2nd dan minimum waiting period is two years, then three years from 2nd dan to third dan etc.

THE "KODOMO" GRADING SYSTEM

The Konjaku Shin National School of Karate operates a unique and separate grading system and syllabus for children between the ages of four to seven.
The "Kodomo" system consists of five diploma levels, each progressively more demanding. It is designed to systematically lead the child into the mainstream grading syllabus, at which time they will be well prepared for the grade of 9th kyu. 
Karate is increasingly popular with children of these ages, and Konjaku Shin recognises that they have special requirements. The Kodomo system is unique to Konjaku Shin, and has proved very successful.
