ProKick Adults Turn Out for Yellow and Orange Belt Grading
September 27, 2026
The cold and rain did nothing to dampen the determination of the ProKick team on Sunday morning, as members arrived at the gym to attempt their yellow and orange belt gradings.
Pictured here are the ProKick team on Sunday 27th Sept morning, as members worked to attempt their yellow and orange belt gradings.
The grading gave each student the chance to show the skills they have been building in class, from technique and fitness to focus and determination. They worked hard, supported one another and represented the ProKick Way throughout the morning.
A grading in Kickboxing is an assessment process for students, both non-contact and contact, as they progress through a series of levels or grades. The journey begins at the White Belt level and advances through ten levels, ultimately culminating in a Dan grade at Black Belt. This achievement is considered equivalent to a degree level within Kickboxing. On average, reaching this level requires six to eight years of dedicated training, with a typical schedule of three to four sessions per week.
ProKick's head coach Billy Murray said: “It takes commitment to turn up on a cold, rainy Sunday morning and put yourself to the test. I’m proud of everyone who stepped forward for their grading. Whatever belt you were working towards, the effort you put in is what matters. Hard Work Pays Off.”
Congratulations to everyone who took part, and thank you to my coach Jay Snoddon and Adele who helped make the morning possible.
