Grading Registration Process - Please read carefully.

Please ensure that you have pre-registered your name with your instructor by the 31st May and all Dan grading candidates must have submitted a brief karate CV. All candidates MUST have attended at least two EGKA courses in the 12 months prior to their grading (this Summer Gasshuku does not count if you are grading). Tournaments do count for Juniors and Cadets (under 18 years).
