LINCOLN FIGHT FACTORY GRADING DAY

Thursday 12 November 2026

Take the Next Step in Your Kickboxing Development

Lincoln Fight Factory is pleased to announce that our next official Grading Day will take place on Thursday 12 November 2026.

This is an opportunity for students of all ages and abilities to demonstrate the skills they have developed through regular training and work towards achieving their next belt.

Grading is an important part of the Lincoln Fight Factory training programme. It provides a structured assessment of each student’s technical ability, understanding of the syllabus, discipline and overall progression.

Whether you are preparing for your first grading or working towards one of the more advanced belts, the assessment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate the improvements you have made and receive recognition for your continued commitment.

What Will Be Assessed?

Students will be assessed on the techniques and requirements appropriate to their current grade, including:

• Correct stance, balance and footwork
• Punching and kicking techniques
• Technical combinations and their execution
• Movement, coordination and control
• Understanding of the grading syllabus
• Discipline, concentration and attitude
• Overall technical development

Every student will be assessed fairly and consistently against the standards required for their next belt.

Our aim is to maintain a high standard across all grades while providing students with a positive and professional assessment experience.

🥊 KIDS’ GRADING

Date: Thursday 12 November 2026

Time: 5:00 pm

Cost: £15

Beginners’ Course Students: FREE

Requirements: A valid student licence is compulsory.

The children’s grading provides our younger members with the opportunity to demonstrate the techniques they have been learning during their regular classes.

Students will be assessed according to their age, experience and current grade, with an emphasis on correct technique, concentration, discipline and understanding of the syllabus.

Grading also encourages children to develop confidence, take responsibility for their progress and recognise the importance of regular practice.

For many younger students, achieving their next belt represents an important milestone and provides additional motivation to continue improving.

🥊 ADULTS’ GRADING

Date: Thursday 12 November 2026

Time: 7:15 pm

Cost: £15

Beginners’ Course Students: FREE

Requirements: A valid student licence is compulsory.

The adult grading will assess each student’s technical ability and understanding of the requirements for their next grade.

Students will be expected to demonstrate correct technique, controlled combinations, effective movement and the ability to perform their syllabus to the required standard.

As students progress through the higher grades, the technical expectations increase to reflect their experience and development.

Our coaching team will assess performances professionally, ensuring that each belt awarded reflects the student’s ability and understanding of the techniques required.

Why Is Grading Important?

At Lincoln Fight Factory, we believe that progression should be earned through consistent training, technical improvement and commitment.

Grading provides students with a clear pathway through the kickboxing syllabus and helps establish achievable goals throughout their development.

It also gives students the opportunity to identify areas for improvement and understand what is expected as they progress towards more advanced grades.

Every belt represents the time, effort and dedication invested in training.

Although achieving a new belt is an important accomplishment, the real value of grading comes from the improvements made throughout the training process.
