Grading Information:
When we have a Grading, it will always start at approx 10:00 and end at approx 13:00, and always be at the Farnham Common Village Hall, that is our main dojo, (unless said on the Latest News page or by Sensei).
Schedule that will take place on every Grading:
9:30-10:00: Everyone from RAF Benson and Farnham Common joining us at the Farnham Common Village Hall, if you don't know how to get there click here.
10:00-10:30: Warming up exercises.
10:30-10:35: Set up for the Grading.
10:35-13:00: GRADING COMMENCES
The end time may vary depending on how many people are taking their grading.
You are allowed to bring a drink of water and a towel and any time it's not your turn to grade you can drink your water and get refreshed.
At all times you are to be quiet when other people are grading, talking disturbs people when they grade.
At the end of the whole grading, we sometimes take pictures for the website with your permission, we give refreshments and we might have the next colour belt that you need. You are allowed to give back you're old belt if you wish. For more information about the belts, see down below.
Try and find your best way to practise your Karate by experimenting on your Dad (only joking!), using a punchbag or in any spare time just think about the moves you have to do. Try this;
-
Practise your Kihon for 10 minutes (basic movements eg; punching, kicking and blocking), perfect yourself on those little things.
-
For about 10 minutes, use your Kihon and apply it to a sparring partner, a partner who is willing to practise with you or a punchbag.
-
You can practise for 10 minutes a day one Kata that you may need to learn by using the Kata Videos page to help you.
-
For the last 5 minutes or so, you can try to learn one line a day for 5 minutes of the Dojo-Kun or the numbers up to 10 in Japanese, this is now complusory for all people that are Grading.
Any questions about the grading, contact; Sensei Tomiko Mitsuoka at tel: 01753 - 671965 or email her at tomikomitsuoka@hotmail.co.uk.
