First Kung Fu grading of 2023
First Kung Fu grading exam of 2023
The first Kung Fu grading of 2023 is here! This year has proceeded at warp speed! Your grading examination is right around the corner and as such, here are the details you need to know.
Our focus needs to turn to our GOALS (the pursuit of excellence = black belt). We should have been frantically practicing our curriculum material, so we can ace our examinations. Your grading examinations are the culmination of months of hard work by YOU, the students. They are designed to test your physical abilities, aptitude, memory and understanding. They are a chance for students to showcase their growth in the pursuit of excellence. Every grading examination should be one of those milestone goals you check off in your pursuit of excellence.
The grading examinations include striking techniques (Da 打), paired sequences (Chángguī 常规), board breaking techniques (Dapo 打破), combat sparring (Sanshou 散手), and the traditional routines known as Taolu (套路). Students are assessed in each category as part of their grading criteria. Our robust curriculum sets the requirements, standards and expectations for the grading examinations.
Information for New Students
Some of the requirements to be eligible for grading is that students must be registered and have a full Gi before participating. After learning their curriculum material, students will participate in mock examinations. If students pass the mock exams, their Instructor will issue them with a grading form.
