Lincoln Fight Factory - Kickboxing - MMA - Boxing | Next grading is 14 November at the Lincoln Fight Factory

The next Lincoln Fight Factory grading takes place Sunday 14 November at the gym. The grading will start at 11:00am but anyone taking part must be here to register no later than 10:45am.

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 8 and 10 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 (or is included in the price of your Beginner Courses) and includes belt and certificate.

If you do not pre-register you will not be eligible to take part and if you can attend this date please speak to your coaches to arrange an alternative date to grade.

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 4 weeks left to practice!
