March Grading

Zanshin Karate-Do Midlands are holding a grading in their Kinnegad dojo on Monday, 7th March 2011 starting at 7.00 PM sharp. Students from Kinnegad and Portarlington (junior and senior) will be graded on the night. Grading fees are €15 for junior members and €25 for senior members. It is important to note that NO-ONE will be graded who is not wearing a white karate-gi (suit) on the night. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Train hard, especially in kihon (basics) and kata. Instructors will let those whom they deem ready for grading know in the next two or three weeks. Attitude, commitment to training and mastery of technique are the criteria we use. If you miss a grading this time, don't be disappointed - you'll have another shot soon enough! Remember, a belt means very little - it's what you can DO that counts!
