It was a tough day for the select group and they have one more day to undergo. They will face the finale of the grading on Tuesday night's class, seperate from the rest of the senior class.
Stay tuned to see who makes the grade!
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.
Saturday emphasis was for Blue Belts and above, the ProKick 'cream of the crop' but to become a ProKick Senior member, it takes more than just attending a grading.
Everyone who was selected was judged on everything from class attendance, uniform presentation and gym etiquette whilst training.
Congratulations to all who took part - Tuesday 3rd April will be the conclusion for their grading.
Pictures and results will be added after completion.

Keep up the hard work everyone- nearly there now. Prokick gradings at senior level are tough, but when you get through them you know you’ve earned the grade. Best of luck on Tuesday.
