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.

Pictures are currently being processed and uploaded to the web today. Full names of graders and their results, along with full pictures from the day will all be online later today also (24/10/2011)

Check back here to ProKick.com latern on today for the full report on the day.
