Grading days are a way for a student to demonstrate their knowledge and application to a panel of qualified Sensei's. To learn more about our grading program, click here

We hold 4 gradings for the Darling Downs areas throughout the course of the calendar year. This allows  a student to attend at least one grading per year to demonstrate the advancement of their knowledge of the martial arts. As the students advance in rank they must demonstrate better technique and greater knowledge of all aspects of their training. Refer to the Calendar on this page for the next AKK grading day

Having Fun is the main goal of our tournaments. We host a number of tournaments throughout the year - please check the Calendar on this page for the next tournament date. The tournaments host a number of dojos averaging up to 100 contestants on the day.

Our students not only build confidence from competing, they also hone their skills against other dojo's, matching students of similar abilities. Furthermore, the student develops crucial skills from each of the events played throughout the day. Listed below are the typical events held in a tournament. 

Perhaps most importantly, each competitor earns a medal so there are only winners on the day. However, students who perform exceptionally well on the day will qualify for a silver or gold medal placing.
