Beginner's Grading

January 11, 2014

Wednesday February 12, 2014, we will have the BEGINNER'S GRADING. This will consist of the same routine as at the tournament, you all should be familiar with it. As well as the first four techniques of the Kihon Waza Keikoho. In order to teach beginners, it is important that all senior ranked members also learn it, and Wakabayashi Sensei will be leading sessions to teach this on Wednesdays 6:30 PM. Those who pass 2 levels (4th Kyu) will receive permission to wear bogu at their convenience. Those who only pass 5th kyu, will be able to attend another grading, to be held in the summer. Those who do not pass....will have to show up to a lot more practices.

Below is the translated list of techniques translated by Wakabayashi Sensei, which we will be learning. Please review these before practice! Also, a PDF version is available on the page, Contact Us, linked under Forms.
