Tuesday the 11th of August saw Kickboxing mad youngsters go through their ProKick exams with a series of tests covering different aspects from the sport which elevated them to the next level.

A grading is when Kickboxing students, non-contact and contact, are assessed through a series of levels / grades, with the base level being White Belt, through ten levels, finally reaching a Dan grade at black belt, which is equivalent, if you like, to a degree level in KickBoxing. This type of achievement would take, on average, between six and eight years with a training regime of on average of three to four times a week.
