Well done to all students who tested in September especially those in the last session where our brown belts were being tested on their full syllabus making it a much longer testing.
Notes for your diary:
Sunday 8th October
In class assessments for black belt students in the 11am class. So all other colour belt students will need to attend the earlier 10am class.
Thursday 12th October
Southgate School has an open evening so we will need to use our alternative venue of the Southgate Scout Hall starting at the earlier time of 6:15pm
Sunday 22nd October
No classes as students and instructors will be attending a first aid training course

Finally be mindful of others and ensure that we keep each other safe by not attending class if you are at all unwell.

It’s important that students dress correctly for training.
Uniforms should not be crumpled when attending the class.
If you wear a T-Shirt under the uniform then the colour needs to match the uniform which for most students will be white.
Belts need to be tied correctly.
Eligibility for Testing
To be eligible to test requires a student to have met 2 criteria.
First complete a minimum of classes as below
No stripe on the belt – 14 classes
A stripe on the belt – 7 classes
You can check the number of classes on our school website under the Members Section. The below link will take you to the page
On the page you can see the number of classes that you’ve attended since joining or since the last testing.
Then in the Next Grading column
If green then you’ll have enough classes by the testing date
If amber then you may be 1-2 classes short so try and attend a few extra classes
If red then you will be short by too many so best to work toward the next test date
Second must be competent with their syllabus. This will be an in class assessment carried out by the Instructors in the weeks running up to the test date. They will only recommend a student being put forward for the testing where they can see the student is carrying out the syllabus to a good standard.

– Yellow belt and above, dipped foam foot safety.
The Playwell site has a number of gloves. Below is an example with the CKD logo but any of a similar style will be permitted. Boxing gloves are not allowed.
The Playwell site has a number of boots. Below is an example with the CKD logo but either this style or the dipped foam style will be permitted. These are designed to be generally worn without shoes and the fit needs to ensure that the toes are always covered. If wearing shoes then a larger size will be needed plus adjustments will generally need to be made. Please discuss this with an instructor in class if you want to do this.
