Students would only be able to grade at Kent Karate Academy through an invitation by Sensei Ali Berendji .  Enough time will be provided for students to prepare themselves mentally and physically for grading. Students would only be invited for grading when Sensei Ali  are confident that the student would be ready for their next grade (belt).

Grading will be carried out based on the English Goju Ryu Karate Association syllabus who are affiliated to the International Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate-Do Federation.

It is the students own responsibility to have their licences up to date for grading. No grading will be carried out without an up to date licence.
