Grading Summary for all Karate Programs, HVMAC
There are several tiers of programs operating at the HVMAC, from Kindymites through Dynamites, Dragons and the traditional Adults curriculum. As you move from one program to the next, with age and promotion, your rank will be adjusted at your next scheduled grading to fall into line with curriculum requirements for the next program.
If you have any queries regarding the grading summary feel free to approach our staff who are always ready to address your concerns.
