Mid-Year Grading
By Nella
On the 26th of June, the Singapore Kendo Club conducted our Mid-Year Grading examinations at the Changi Japanese School Dojo.
During every session, grading will be held in front of a panel of senseis, who will judge and award the level of proficiency displayed during the examination. With that said, one is required to execute the basic and fundamental strikes learnt throughout the course of training. This will be followed by jigeiko and kata for higher kyu and dan gradings, and every aspect is vital in determining your performance for the day.
Congratulations to all participants for their efforts in this grading! :D

The next grading will take place in December, and this will be the first for most, if not all, incoming juniors this academic year. Do look forward to it! :)
