Keiryu Practical Karate Adult Syllabus

Grading Schedule

Above shows a minimum timescale for progression through the grading system. Not all students will progress within this time-

scale; some may take longer to achieve each grade.

Other factors that are taken into account when deciding if a student is ready for their next grade are:

% attendance

Ability to demonstrate techniques to an acceptable standard (this can only be judged by the instructor, unlike time and

attendance)

With the increasing grades comes increasing demands upon the karate-ka. The combination of technique complexity, the

meaning of kata, stress on strength and requirements of stamina test the knowledge and endurance of the student. This is why

as the student approaches black belt and beyond, the time periods between grades become longer. As the student progresses

then his/her knowledge of and, more crucially, understanding of karate matures.
