THE GRADING SYSTEM

The Scottish Karate Federation runs a two tier grading system. The junior grading system is designed for the younger members and is easier to attain. The first two grades are junior yellow and orange belt and are given out during a normal class as encouragement grades. After sitting orange belt you must take out a federation licence before sitting further grades. For junior green, blue, purple and brown belts the student must sit a grading examination. After junior brown all students then sit their kyu grade (adult grade), eventually leading to black belt.
