Zen Do Kai Gradings

Zen Do Kai students progress through graded levels, achieving promotion through gradings. Gradings for each colour rank are held on-site at our Epping martial arts training centre, ususlly at the end of each school term. Black Belt gradings are usually held once annually. Students are encouraged to move through their ranks once they have achieved skill and consistency in demonstrating technique and sequences. 

Our Zen Do Kai instructor team maintain open, clear and consistent communication with students, outlining techniques and preparation that is required to work toward the standard expected for their next grading. The beauty of Zen Do Kai is that there is always another level to strive for, for a lifetime should students choose.
