Grading system

We are part of Grampian and Northern Karate Association and as such we all work to the same grading syllabus.  Up to black belt students are graded by the clubs Chief instructor Sensei Brian Bothwell who is an approved grading examiner with the Scottish Karate Board.   

Senior Dan (Black Belt) gradings are performed by Sensei Dirk Heene 7th Dan WKSA. Sensei Heene is the top European instructor of the Shotokan-Ryu-Kase-Ha Academy and teaches karate worldwide. He is also a former European Kata champion.

Click here to go to the Associations web site to see the clubs grading syllabus.  Click on the links at the top of its page to jump between the different gradings.   If you need more information please speak to John at your next session who will be happy to run through ant of the programs.
