Lincoln Fight Factory - Kickboxing - MMA - Boxing | Next grading 1 July 2018 at the Lincoln Fight Factory

The next Lincoln Fight Factory grading takes place Sunday 1 July 2018 at the gym. The grading will start at 10:00am but anyone taking part must be here to register no later than 9:45am.

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.

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

The belts and certificates will then be awarded at the clubs summer BBQ on Saturday 7 July at the Lincoln Fight Factory – tickets for this are priced at £5.

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 months left to practice!
