Grading
We hold a Club Grading every 3 months – where you can progress to the next belt level.
The next club grading will be held on Monday 14th July 2025, at Thrapston Plaza. Students must arrive in their TAGB Doboks (white Suits).
A license costs £42 for 12 months and you can do four gradings normally in the first year. Please complete a Licence Application Form, there is an option to download this as a pdf below, or we can provide you with a hardcopy to complete – please just ask us for this Licence application form.
Each grading is £36 (inclusive of the session before). We also require 3 passport-size photos to be included with your first License Application Form. Please return your License Application Form, and photos (so we can identify you quickly at the terminology and top table), plus monies must be paid online, all to us no later than ONE week before the grading.
A White Dobok suit must be worn for grading – you can order your Dobok suit now for £38 for sizes 2 and below, and £40 for sizes 3 and above. There are a limited number of suits that we can lend out for your first grading. You can pay in installments prior to the grading and sparring equipment if you need, to help spread the cost. Please ask us about the lending of suits – we are happy to help where we can.
We encourage you to keep training when you have an upcoming grading, it builds confidence, and personal self-esteem and can give a fantastic sense of achievement.
