GRADING SYSTEM

AIKIDO RYU - GRADING SYSTEM

Tests are held for all kids classes and for Family Club three times a year. Students aged from 6 to 13 years start from 10kyu (or grade) and test for progressively higher levels. There are three levels for students from 3 to 6 years old, starting from beginner and running through intermediate and advanced. The test syllabus differs at each level (click here to see the TEST SYLLABUS). On passing the test for each level, students are presented with a certificate and are entitled to wear the obi or belt in the colour of their level. Junior First Degree Black Belt tests are held with the adult tests and students receive a purple belt on passing the test.
