Curriculum

Your instructor will tell you if you are to be recommended to your next belt rank. You will have to complete the requirements, and be reviewed by a black belt from another club on Recommendation day.

See the sub-links under "curriculum" on the side bar for more information.

Recommendation: Occurs in-class (possibly at another dojo), approximately 1 month before the scheduled grading date. You must demonstrate your katas, stomach exercises, and hand in your resume (short essay).

Resume (short essay): A 1 to 2 page document with a pre-defined topic (as listed on the Kyu belt requirements page - this will be the title of your resume) for the belt rank you wish to obtain. Please follow instructions precisely.

Fee: There is a $45 fee to grade. Please put with your resume in a plain white envelope addressed to "Hanshi G. Legacy".

Grading: The UWO Karate Club holds an in-class grading for UWO students in April (usually the 2nd last class of the year). There are opportunities to grade at the St. Thomas dojo throughout the year (the first Saturday of March, June, September, and December). Gradings will be announced and posted on the web.
