The Mon grades to Kyu grades
We believe in recognising and honoring the progress and dedication of our junior students as they transition
from Mon grades to Kyu grades.
Unlike traditional practices that replace their well-earned Brown Mon Belt with a White Kyu Belt, our
Federation has chosen a different path.
We value the significance of their journey to their current belt.
Therefore, we use a tab system
that seamlessly integrates with the solid-colored Kyu belts.
This means that while new adult participants start with a White Kyu Belt, our junior students retain their
Brown Mon Belt and simply attach a colored ribbon or 'tab' to signify their Kyu grades.
This approach not only preserves the achievements they have worked so hard for but also allows us
to celebrate their progress
in a meaningful way. It's about honoring their growth while smoothly
transitioning to the next stage of their
martial arts journey.
