In line with our continuing assesment of the course, in the childrens progam, the event will be split by age, with students grouped to testing at different times. Please note all students of green belt or above in the 10-14 group should have their own sparring kit. Students without the same will not be permitted to test, or take part in the Sparring. Half green belts should have their own shin and gloves , but may borrow club body armour if we use it.

The adult sparring section is open to all adults members who wish to take part, and who have the correct safety kit. All adult students wishing to grade past blue belt must fight. The adult group all test together.

Please note we are not testing students who attend the little ninjas 3-4yrs course or the little dragons course 5-6yrs.

Grading times follow, please be aware if you normally attend say, the Korean Kickboxing 10-14 class but are 9yrs old, you would still test in the 10-14 yrs old group.
