Karate Grading Requirements

The grading requirements listed below for children acts as a guideline only. Instructors are able to use their discretion as to what a child should be capable of at a certain level taking into account the child's age. However by the time the child is due to test for Junior Black Belt, they must have acquired all of the knowledge as shown below up to and including the knowledge for Junior 1st Dan. 

It’s a circle of life.

The longer you practice Karate, the more you’ll see yourself changing and growing just as a plant does.

The belt colours tell a story…  Of life, growth & advancement.

From the beginning and/or birth (white belt) to the intermediate parts of development (orange, green, blue etc.) to maturing and going beyond (purple, brown, black belt).

The belts symbolize your progress as an individual – both inside & outside the dojo.
