Our Kung-Fu examinations are conducted during special group seminars at the end of each 12-week term, during which students attempt the practical test for their current programme. The tests become more personal, more comprehensive and more applied as the grades progress.

Our Escrima Concepts examinations are conducted during the regular workshops with Master Steve Tappin, where those who have completed a programme & wish to be examined will be put into a special group.

Why Do We Test?

Just as in GCSE's & A-Levels, we ask all students to demonstrate a minimum standard in order to move higher, because the next grade is built upon the one before. Examinations are held at the end of every term, so if you're not quite ready yet just test next time around. You are under no obligation to test just because an examination is available.

Are You Ready?

You should not automatically assume that you will test & pass a grade each & every term. It is usual to spend 3 months each on the 1st and maybe the 2nd grade too, however beyond this it is your own ability & aptitude which will determine when you take the next step up.

No Belts or Badges

Unlike many clubs, we do not inflate our costs by requiring new belts, badges or extra uniform to be purchased when you pass each & every grade. We simply denote training stages with our different T-Shirt colours, which in practice usually means a new T-Shirt each year.
