Lincoln Fight Factory - Kickboxing - MMA - Boxing | Next grading the Lincoln Fight Factory is 25 May 2023

The second grading of 2023 at Lincoln Fight Factory takes place this Thursday 25 May at the gym. The grading for those involved in the kids classes will start at 5:00pm and 8pm for those that attend the adult sessions, but anyone taking part must register before that date to confirm their spot.

A grading is when kickboxing students, both junior and senior, 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.

Everyone grading, please ensure you wear your current belts, club t-shirts and trousers/shorts if you have them and make sure your licence is still valid. Any problems please speak to Shawn at the gym.

The grading costs £15 and includes belt and certificate or included as part of the Beginners Course package.

If you are unavailable on the 25 May, please speak to Shawn at the gym to rearrange your grading.

If you do not pre-register you will not be eligible to take part.

When deciding on who is eligible to grade, the instructors take into consideration a variety of factors. Knowing the techniques isn’t enough, all students, Junior or Senior must show the correct amount of effort, respect, attendance in classes and discipline in class to become eligible. For some juniors and seniors, a little more effort and tightening up on technique needs to be applied to become eligible, but don’t give up, you still have a few weeks left to practice!
