SCHOOL CLUB GRADINGS:
We hold gradings in schools at the end of the autumn and summer terms. These are exams in which the students have the opportunity to earn their next belts. All students entering the grading will require the official kazen kai uniform for their discipline, and an up to date licence. The licence fee pays for the student's books that they require to record the grading, and lists their techniques required for their next belt.We will be in touch half way through the term with more information about preparing for and booking the gradings.
SCHOOL CLUB COMPETITIONS:
We hold competitions in schools at the end of the spring term. These competitions are ideal for introducing students to competitive karate. Children will be placed into groups best suited according to their belt and age and compete in two events:1. KATA - Students will perform their kata that they practise in class. Younger children and lower belts will perform their kata in groups of two or three and higher belts will perform their kata individually.
2. SLAM MAN - Students will compete in pairs against the dummies and will be awarded points for good techniques and focus.
All students taking part in the Slam Man event will require kazen kai hand pads and leg pads. These are available to purchase by calling the Kazen Kai main office on 01277 262800 and will be taken to the next class by your instructor.
