Gradings
Gradings will be held regularly, typically every 3 months. To be considered for a grade promotion you must be attending classes regularly, have a great attitude and be improving in your Kickboxing skills.
Everyone is an individual – this means that we all learn at different rates and some of us may find a particular technique more difficult than another student. You must have the maturity to accept that you are only competing with yourself. When you are ready to grade, the instructor will let you know.
Equipment
We have certain safety standards to maintain when it comes to sparring equipment (gloves, helmets, boots etc) for the purposes of sparring.
Instructors supply this equipment of the correct standard and specification at very good rates. The instructor is well within his/her rights to forbid the use of equipment that he/she feels is sub-standard. To prevent such occurrences, speak to your instructor when the time comes to purchase this equipment.
