Guidance for grading

Here you find what surrounds the grading requirements themselves: structure, process, preparation and etiquette.

Structure How the grades and requirements connect. Grading process How grading is conducted and what is assessed. Preparing for grading How to plan your training and prepare for grading. Grading etiquette Conduct and etiquette before, during and after grading.

Grading as a whole

Grading brings Kyokushin progression together as a practical whole. Each grade describes not only what must be demonstrated, but also what the practitioner is expected to develop and what the instructor primarily evaluates.

Progression, not only a checklist

Each level builds on the previous one. New material is added while earlier skills are expected to become more stable, precise and usable under pressure. Grading requirements should therefore be read together with the technical documentation and regular training practice.

For practitioners and instructors

Practitioners can use the grading area to understand the next step and plan their training. Instructors can use the same structure to keep progression, assessment and expectations consistent over time.
