N.B. Please do not compare your rank directly with the person(s) above or below you. You are not marked against the other person's standard but your own and how close you compare to an acceptable standard for the rank you are at. Age is taken into consideration, as are the combination of Basics, Kata, Power, Training Spirit, Kumite, Attendance and Theory.

The standard of Kata/Applications (Brown belts) at this Grading across the board was "average" with some performing below par for their current rank, and those asked for applications not able to recall what they had been shown in class.

Theory was disappointing with some unable to answer their question(s), even when alternative questions were posed, the answers are all contained in our website, it being obvious that no reading up was done in this respect.
