Rise Up Through The Ranks – Belt Tiers
Children at Impact Academy have the opportunity to attend kickboxing gradings and rise up through the Belt system.
Students will gain their first belt which is Red followed by Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black Tag and then Black Belt. The belts that are awarded are not only awarded on how well they have done in grading but also on how committed they are during the classes. Their attitude and ability during classes help contribute to their grading!!!
When we do the children’s gradings they are done in brackets of belts. Red, Yellow, and Orange belts will grade together, and the techniques needed to be displayed are the fundamental strikes and techniques of kickboxing.
Green, Blue, and Purple belts will grade together, and the techniques needed to be displayed are all of the fundamental strikes and techniques also incorporating some of the more advanced techniques that include jumping and spinning strikes.
Then Brown belts will grade for their Black tag belt, students will display all the above-mentioned techniques but competently and being able to display various combinations involving multiple strikes.
When a student is ready for the Black belt grading, they will get formally invited to the grading as this is a separate event which can last up to 4 hours. Students will have to display all the strikes and techniques from fundamental to advanced level, long combinations involving multiple different strikes and sparring. Gaining a Black belt is not given it is earned and is a true representation of an individual’s skill, commitment, and passion for kickboxing.
