Grading System

“Davis Karate Junior Black Belt Programme” motivates children to become black belts.
Davis Karate Junior black belt programme has been developed for children who can master most of the same techniques as adult black belts.
Some children can learn and perform correct techniques as good as some adults. They deserve to have junior black belts. 

Grading examinations are held at the end of school term.
A student requires a minimum of 7-8 lessons (75%) to be eligible to sit a grading examination.

The grading requirements – Please email us ([email protected]) for the grading requirement sheet.
The grading requirements are practiced during class. You can ask for the grading requirement list (yellow sheet) if you have not received yet. ‘Knowing’ the requirements alone is not enough, the student must perform them with full power, correct technique and skill.

What next?

What happens to a student when he/she turns 12 years old?

Junior black belt holders focus on sparring and kata application towards official adult Shito-ryu 1st dan certificates.

Coloured belt holders start training in the adult class and get graded in the adult grading system while they keep their junior belts.
