Bushi Goya-Ra-Ru Association Grades

An established way of measuring progress in the martial arts is by the belt system. Students wear different coloured belts in order to show their relative expertise and provides a series of defined goals to aim for. Students progress to the next belt by passing a grading (martial arts exam) during which they will demonstrate a level of competence with regards to the techniques listed in the syllabus for a particular grade.

The techniques required for the grading exams are pretty much the same whatever your age. However, the syllabus for junior class members is structured to allow for a greater number of medium term goals, i.e. tags between the main belts.
