The 2024 Dan grading is on Saturday 24th August 2024 at the Erindale PCYC. We have 8 Dan grade applicants so please come along and support them.
There is an open Aiki class beforehand for all Senior students:
9.00 am – open Aiki class for senior grades. $15 training fee applies, not covered by monthly fee. Bring your training cards as you do get a signature for the class.
10:20am – Aiki class wraps up and a quick break.
10:30am – Dan Grading commences.
There is no timeframe for the Dan grading but we can expect about 2 hours.
The open Aiki class will cover some basic arm lock and pin techniques, grappling, rolling, use of weapons and break falling.
After the open Aiki class Senior students can keep uniforms on and be on the floor to support the Dan grading applicants, or you can change into other clothes and sit on chairs if you wish.
Spectators for the Dan grading are permitted.
The Dan grading is always an exciting time for Zanshin Martial Arts and we look forward to seeing you there, especially as we celebrate 10 years of Zanshin Martial Arts.
