Tag Tests

Tag Tests are held at club level roughly every 8 weeks but are by no means compulsory. Students should have a attended a minimum of 4 lessons between tests but may take longer to get to grips with the syllabus requirements, especailly with the more advanced grades.

For 'in-house' yellow-stripe belt gradings candidates should bring their Goya-Ra-Ru Licence with them on the day of the grading.

There is no charge for tag-tests or in-house gradings (yellow stripe belt). Yellow stripe belts can be obtained from many martial arts or sports shops.
