REPORT - 2025 Spring Grading

On April 4 and 5, we held our Spring Grading for Ranks and Belts at CKMA Barrie and Mississauga Dojos. Students graded up to 3rd Kyu green belt, with a smaller session as most higher ranks were not eligible. We require students to attend classes, learn rank requirements, and be in top physical shape to earn their ranks, ensuring each rank is truly deserved.

Importance of Gradings in Karate

Gradings are crucial milestones in karate, reflecting skills, personal growth, and discipline. Each belt signifies achievement and commitment, motivating students to advance in their training.

Short-Term Goal Setting Using Ranks and Belts

Ranks and belts help students set short-term goals, focusing on skills needed for the next belt. This fosters a sense of accomplishment, builds confidence, and prepares them for higher ranks.

Congratulations to all and keep up the great work.
