NewsFirst Jyoshinmon Grading for the year was held at the Honbu (main dojo) in New Lynn over 2 days. The sessions are organised by specific belts and age groups.
A Pre-Grading session is held a month before to assess the students if they are ready to grade though they are given time to make improvements. Grading is by invitation only.
