We grade from the Aiwakai Karate-do Federation syllabus. We have approximately 2 gradings a year. Those wishing to grade or compete must hold an up-to-date licence.

As well as the grading syllabus we practice competition work, kata and Kumite (fighting). We also practice self-defense skills, knife/sword work, throws, wrestling, locks, board breaking and conditioning.

Fighting takes place in a controlled environment were the students should wear protective pads on their hands and other protective equipment if they choose to.
