No, to be non-partisan to all our families, grading at the centre will be declined. There are no special circumstances in which grading at the centre will be allowed. The only exception is for children that have attended grading and have been marked non-competent and require the final assessment after further practice. This will only be the components that needs to improved and not a full grading. I.e., Improving their Taekwondo Poomsae.

We understand there are multiple reasons why children cannot attend an Inspire grading. If you cannot attend an Inspire Grading unfortunately there is no makeup grading or individual grading done at Inspire.

Unfortunately, this has been the case since increasing the gradings per year. In terms of your child's progress, we want them to continue to progress. Once notified we are able to communicate with the centre to put your child in the next belt class so that they are still learning the next syllabus however should still retain their knowledge for their current belt.

If you have any questions please email info@inspireme.com.au

Inspire Program holds FOUR Taekwondo Gradings each year, approximately on the 8 th  week of each school term. Previously, we have only held TWO per year so this increase gives more chances to children who cannot attend a particular Grading event.

Double grading is when a child’s skill level exceeds their current belt rank and has the capability to grade to the following belt rank, I.e., White belt to Yellow Stripe. If you think your child is capable, they first must be cleared by the centre’s instructor and final approval will be required through the Head Taekwondo Instructor. Double gradings have exceptionally high standards and usually reserved for children who have trained in another form of martial arts; are currently training in Taekwondo and have a higher rank at another club, or having previous experience in Taekwondo.
