About the Business
As with many martial arts, a belt system is used in KUGB Shotokan Karate to show the progress and proficiency of students. Belts are earned through their proven dedication to training in combination with an examination (grading). Students progress from Novice through the coloured Kyu grades (9th to 1st Kyu) to Black Belt (1st Dan). Learning Karate is unlimited and 1st Dan Black Belt is only the first in a series of Black Belt grades. We are very fortunate to have Sensei Andy Sherry (9th Dan), Senior instructor and Chairman of the Karate Union of Great Britain (KUGB) as our Grading Examiner. Gradings take place every 3 months (or more depending on grade).
KUGB students (karateka) will be eligible to grade providing they have fulfilled all technical requirements, hold a current KUGB licence and record book and have appropriate permission.
