2026 Winter Grading is Approaching!

The final stretch of the training year is here, and our upcoming 2026 Winter Grading is just around the corner!

Grading: A Celebration of Progress

Testing for your next rank is never just about rushing through belts or checking off a requirement. In Kyokushin, grading represents the natural progression of consistent effort, discipline, and the hours you invest on the dojo floor week after week. If you have shown up, pushed through fatigue, and remained committed to refining your technique, grading is your opportunity to showcase that growth.

Preparation is Key

As we lead into December, treat every class as focused preparation. Pay close attention to your kihon and kata, push your stamina during conditioning, and bring total focus to every repetition. The standard does not change, but how prepared you feel depends entirely on how you apply yourself right now.

Grading Session Details

Our grading sessions will take place across both locations:

Barrie Dojo: Friday, December 4, 2026
Mississauga Dojo: Saturday, December 5, 2026

Registration Information

Online Registration Deadline: All participating students must register through our website by December 1, 2026. Please ensure you take care of your registration well ahead of time so our instructors can finalize testing rosters and logistics for both locations. Late registrations will not be accepted.
