Grading Timetable
Based on a structured curriculum, a formal certification process is held periodically to advance you through the ten preliminary white-belt (beginner grade) levels and the subsequent black-belt (advanced grade) levels.
Important prerequisites for advancement in the art, in addition to the commitment you make to your training, is your ability to demonstrate:
- Correct technical form, initially performed slowly, then gradually progressing to a more spontaneous, free flowing and creative application of techniques based on your understanding of the underlying principles of Aikido;
- A heightened sense of awareness that encompasses the safety and well-being of all the people you interact with as part of your training;
- A refined sense of etiquette that fosters right-minded training in both yourself and in your training partners;
- Humility, tolerance and a natural sense of respect and gratitude for all things;
- A mature attitude that promotes ethical values, principles and standards in yourself as well as your training partners.
GRADING DATES:
- Grading eligibility will be communicated to students by the instructor.
