How much to grade?

How much does it cost you to test for your next belt?

 

In my association it is £15 for kyu gradings (about US$27) and it is £50 for 1st Dan (about US$90). It's slightly higher for gradings above shodan, but not much more.

from most of the groups I have seen it is useally $25 to $45 for kyu ranks and useally at least $100 per dan rank ie $100 for shodan $200 for nidan and so on.

Hehe... looks like I (and my students) get the best deal so far :)

 

We are part of a smaller type association and my sensei is the association chairperson so there are no pyramid type fees.

 

Kyu gradings = £5

 

Dan gradings = £20

 

This includes certificates and dan grade registration with the AMA (Amateur Martial Association).

 

Belts are extra but only £3 for standard plain colours. Embroidered ones are obviously extra.

$15 to attend a Shiai. This happens 3x a year. The Shiai is about 2-3 hours of training with rank adjustments after. No guarantee for rank adjustment, the $15 is just for the training, space rental for all the dojo students to train a once, and the party after.

 

Pretty good deal compared to what I have read others get charged.
