​

What do I need to know?

See our new 'Theory Help' page on the Daventry site, which gives general information in addition to the grading information given on the Login for Students page.

You can also find a summary of this information on the Grading Information page, with easy access to downloads.

Uniform

White dobok

You must wear either a White Dobok or a Tigers Yellow & Black dobok for gradings.  You cannot wear T shirts or club uniform, and you cannot wear the purple Tiger of the Month belt either. 

Tiger dobok

If you need an extra layer, please wear a plain white or yellow T shirt underneath your dobok.  NO COLOURED T SHIRTS SHOWING!

​​

As with all classes, please do not wear any jewellery, or tape up earrings if you are unable to remove them.  No Fit Bits or similar.

​

Please ensure your dobok is freshly washed (including the belt) and ironed for the grading.  Remove any tags from your belt. 

Hanging out washing

Take care when stepping out of any cars to ensure you don't get them dirty on the side of the car, especially if you are wearing a white dobok!

Grading Fee

Coloured belt gradings cost £30 and Star gradings cost £25.

 

Please make payment by BACs transfer.  We do not accept payment by cash or cheque.  Pay into the same bank account that you pay your monthly standing order payment to.

​​

​

Late Payment/Entry Admin Fee

Gradings take a lot of time to prepare, and that preparation is hampered by those who apply to grade late.  We have therefore, with regret, decided to charge an additional admin fee of £5 to those who do not apply and pay in time, making the total payable:

​

  • £35 for late Coloured belts, 
  • £30 for late Star gradings. 

​​

​​Alternatively those students who have not applied and paid in time may wish to wait until the next grading.

Next grading

The next coloured belt grading is currently expected to be held around February 2026 in both Banbury & Daventry.

Order uniform here

If you need new uniform for the grading, please do not leave it until the last minute to ask.

​

We carry a lot of uniform in stock, so you can just ask us in class if you want anything.  However, you can also order it here so we make sure we don't forget anyone!
