Welcome to
East London JKA Karate Club

Please note that purple belts and above will be required to attend the above Saturday session for their grading assessment, we have had to do this as there have been some minor changes to the syllabus and the assessments take longer to do..Saturday session will give us a chance to take a good look at everyone and to appraise the students performance..

In the unlikely event where a student is unable to attend the assessment date for any reason, we regret to inform you that it will not be possible to put you forward for grading.

Anyone needing to retake the last grading ie that are on a temporary pass, will need to retake this assessment first, if successful they can take the next level assessment..

As usual if you train once a week you need a minimum of six months in between grading to attempt assessment this is reduced to three months if you train twice a week..In addition you must have 80% attendance to classes..

It is now harder to pass assessment, this is because standards are harder to attain, please be patient and train hard a minimum of twice a week to have a fair chance of getting through the assessment..

Good luck everyone

Club Committee
