Gradings

Gradings are the opportunity to gain a new belt. They consist of multiple activities including:

• Shadow work
• Padwork routines
• Kickshield routines
• Technical grading sets

As we are members of the Derbyshire Kickboxing area of the PKA we attend those grading sessions. We normally run 3-4 gradings a year and then tend to be mainly held at Belper Leisure Centre. 

The PKA grading system includes the belts in the following order:

• Red
• Yellow
• Orange 
• Green
• Blue
• Purple
• Brown
• Black (1st – 3rd dan via grading, 4th dan & higher awarded by PKA Princpal, Mr Mike Haig)
