It is one thing to get a black belt (anyone can go and buy one for that matter) it is another to BE a black belt.  By the time teenagers reach black belt level with Bukido Kai we feel sure that they know the difference.

Normal Kyu (coloured belt) gradings are held on a Saturday approximately every four months. The gradings last approximately 2 hours and consists of examination in the following areas, technique, non contact sparring, kata, fitness, concentration and self discipline.

The Grading System: Kids.

The Kid's karate grading system with Bukido Kai takes approximately eight years for children to progress from white belt to black belt.

There are 17 Kyu grades including white belt.  The reason for this is simple.   Children can commence training with Bukido Kai from 5 years of age. We believe that prior to grading to black belt children should have the maturity to understand and deal with the responsibilities of being a black belt.
