⚠️ PROMOTION IS NOT GUARANTEED

A grading examination is an evaluation, not an automatic promotion.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

👥 SPECTATORS WELCOME

All students are encouraged to attend, even if they are not grading this time.

Watching a grading is an important learning experience and an opportunity to show respect and support for fellow karate students who are being evaluated.

Karate is not only about individual achievement—it is also about supporting one another as a team and growing together through shared experiences.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Results are typically released within approximately three weeks following the grading.

We look forward to seeing the progress, effort, and dedication demonstrated by all students.

Train hard, do your best, and enjoy the experience.

Osu!
