What Are Pre-Grade Classes For?
 Q
We run a childrens karate class on the day of the grading. The class is a specialist class for children who
already have 3 stripes on their belt or children who are very close to grade and need a final stripe. The classes 
are aimed solely at giving our students extra practice on their grade work before the grading begins
 i
This class has many benifits. As well as being a refresher on all grade work for the students, it also includes work on breathing, strength, focus etc. Other benifits include: last minute answers to any questions the student has regarding
their grade work and an extra confidence boost to shake off any nerves. All very important for achieving a good pass mark
