JKC - Mon Grades

The junior gradings mark a significant milestone in your child's karate journey, often being their first official test.
This experience can evoke a mix of emotions for both the child and their parents. Rest assured, we approach this with care and consideration.
We believe in ensuring that each child is fully prepared before embarking on their grading.
Only when they are more than ready do we extend the invitation to participate. While the journey may seem daunting, we aim to infuse it with ease and enjoyment.

White Belt

In Wado Kai Karate, the white belt is not a grade
It's a symbol of a beginning, a canvas awaiting the brushstrokes of experience.

It has a practical purpose too, keeping your Gi jacket secure as you delve into the art of karate.

As our students progress toward their yellow belt, we instill key principles that go beyond mere technique.
We cultivate discipline and respect through the ability to line out in an orderly manner.
We foster attentiveness and receptiveness by teaching students to listen and follow instructions with focus and determination.
And, of course, amidst all the learning, we prioritise one thing above all else: having FUN.
