TODAY the grading took part for NI's Kickboxing mad students from the age of 6 - 12 years-old as they went through the ProKick exams with a series of tests covering different aspects from the sport. 

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.

When deciding on who is eligible to grade, the instructors take into consideration a variety of factors.

Knowing the techniques isn't enough, all students, Junior or Senior must show the correct amount of effort, respect, attendance in classes and discipline in class to become eligible.
