It symbolises hard work, self-discipline, and perseverance, it’s the ultimate accolade for any Martial Artist. More on Paul Dobson
A grading is when Kickboxing students, non-contact and contact, are assessed through a series of levels / grades, with the base level being White Belt, through ten levels, finally reaching a Dan grade at black belt, which is equivalent, if you like, to a degree level in KickBoxing. This type of achievement would take, on average, between six and eight years with a training regime of on average of three to four times a week.
Please do not move into any other class, ProKick HQ will info you all soon of your new training schedule and for the appropriate class for your level.
STAY IN YOUR CURRENT CLASS FOR NOW, Unless you have been informed ...Please!
