Grading Registration Process - Please read carefully.

Candidates must agree with their dojo instructor they are ready to present for grading well ahead of November. Can all instructors please contact Sensei Linda in the week beginning 14th November to advise her of the number and grade of students who will be presenting. This is to help with planning for the weekend’s training.

All Dan grading candidates must prepare a brief karate CV outlining their training history to date. Please bring it with you on the day stapled to the inside of your EGKA training book.

All candidates MUST have attended at least two EGKA courses in the 12 months prior to their grading attempt. The winter grading Gasshuku does not count. Juniors can claim participation in tournaments - Adults can only claim EGKA organised training events.

Please make sure you use the latest version grading application form available for download here:
