Grading will be taking place on Sunday 29th November at the Quorn Lecture Theatre, in EHB, between 9.30am-2pm.
It’s important you try to arrive by 9.30 to warm up and register ready for a prompt 10am start. The hall has been booked from 9.00 if you wish to turn up early to practice.
For many of you this is going to be your first grading; click here for information on what to do and what you need to bring with you on the morning. Remember to bring along your grading forms and £15, in cash or cheque, for the grading. Also, £35 is require for membership to the Hung Kuen School; this may sound like a lot but this is just a one-off fee for the year and it also entitles you to take part in the competitions for free! Cheques can be made payable to K. K. Ang.
You’ll be graded in groups starting with the white belts. The white belt grading usually takes around 10-20mins per group. Once you have finished your grading you are welcome to leave however it is respectful to be present at the end of the session to recieve your belt. It’s also worth staying to watch the senior belts grade, as you may have to do the same thing eventually.
We’ll probably start doing a lot more grading practice during training sessions so try to turn up to as many sessions as possible between now and the grading. Sunday training is ideal as Master Ang will actually be there to help, so try to take advantage of his presence.
