TKF Karate Gradings
All Karate gradings by JKS Qualified Kyu Grading Examiners
In Shotokan Karate students progress through a belt system with each level having a different colour. Each level before black belt are known as Kyu grades
Every Kyu grade has its own syllabus that needs to be learnt and during the grading progress this syllabus will be marked on a number of factors. If the student reaches the desired standard they will pass their grading and move on to their new Kyu grade.
