GRADINGS

GRADING PROGRAMME

Club membership at City Gongfu entitles students to take part in our grading programme. This is optional and new students are recommended to attend at least one academic term before grading.

All students are encouraged to practice regularly, particularly their forms and drills. Training should be built into everyday life, not just in class!

Students wishing to advance more quickly are recommended to attend at least two sessions per week and practice regularly.

Grading Fees: £25 per grading

Awarded belts are included in the grading fees.
