Once they have attended their usual class time and received their new belt, they should start to attend the 7+ White to Yellow II classes. Note: If they haven’t turned 7 just yet but will be before the next grading, please call us to discuss where we think they should be.

They should attend their usual class until they receive their new belt, then change if necessary.

Here at BTC we hold grading days for everyone at the end of every school term.  The dates are available at least 12 months in advance via the club calendar.  These are extremely important days in the development and encouragement of our members – both junior and senior.  It takes weeks of planning behind the scenes to make them run smoothly and on time.  Where possible we will try to accommodate people’s lifestyles but it is obviously impossible to do it for everyone.  Please plan to be available on the weekends they are on.
