Karate Grading
Funakoshi Shotokan has a grading system that allows all students to proceed through levels/grades, outlining their growth and development. Whilst it is not mandatory for students to go through the grading system, we have found it is a great way for both adults and children to have their progress recognised.
The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants." - Gichin Funakoshi
