School Club Gradings
We hold gradings in schools at the end of the autumn, spring and summer terms. These are exams where 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 covers the cost of the student's books that they require to record the grading and lists the techniques required for their next belt.
We will be in touch half way through the term with more information about preparing for and booking gradings.

School Club Competitions:
We hold competitions in school clubs during the Winter term. These are ideal for introducing students to competitive karate. Each student will be placed into a group best suited to them according to their belt and age and will compete in two events:
1. KATA - Students will perform the Kata that they practice in class. Younger children and lower grade belts will perform the Kata in groups of two or three and higher grade belts will perform the Kata individually.
2. SLAM MAN - Students will compete in pairs against a martial arts dummy and will be awarded points for good technique 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 once purchased will be taken along to the next class by your instructor.
