Bukido Kai: Bushido Grading.

Within the Bukido Kai system there are two distinct types of Bushido gradings.

These gradings are known as the mid year Bushido and Bushido CRT.

CRT stands for Combat Reality Training.

Bushido means 'Way of the Warrior'.  In Bukido Kai, Bushido signifies the strength, discipline and determination required to pass the black belt test. The Bushido gradings are where prospective black belts are tested in the three elements of Bukido Kai, Mind, Body and Spirit.

The Bushido grading is usually held over a weekend in June, commencing on Saturday morning and concluding on Sunday afternoon.  The Bushido CRT grading is held over the long week end in October, commencing at 7pm on Friday night and concluding on the following Monday.

Both of the Bushido gradings are also open to Kyu grades below second Kyu who wish to take the challenge. Bushido is a double grading for those Kyu grades.
