22-03-26 - All passes at latest USKA Female Division Grading!

We wrapped up an excellent grading weekend with our USKA Female Division Grading, and once again the commitment and effort on display was outstanding.

Despite taking place at the end of Ramadan and during the Eid Weekend celebrations, we had 17 of our female students step onto the mats to attempt their next coloured belts, ranging from Red Belt (1st Grade) through to Orange Belt (4th Grade).

The grading was conducted by Female Division Senior Instructor Ruqayya Griffith, who put all candidates through a thorough assessment of the USKA syllabus.
The examination lasted 3 hours (4 hours including the preparation and warm-up class), with every student tested across all required techniques and criteria.

Overall, the standard was consistent, with some very solid performances throughout. Each student received individual feedback following their grading, highlighting both their strengths and areas for continued improvement as they progress on their martial arts journey.

Congratulations to all of our successful candidates, a fantastic achievement and a step forward in your development.

As always, a big thank you to Ruqayya and the coaching team for their continued hard work and dedication in preparing our Female Division students to such a high standard.

Our next Female Division Grading will take place in June for those looking to progress to their next belts.

Remember… the hard work starts now. If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.
