Martial Arts Gradings and Timing
Many martial arts schools schedule gradings at consistent intervals, such as every three or six months, to maintain steady progress and motivation.
Gradings are best after a dedicated training period where skills are well-established, typically following intensive practice or a training cycle.
Certain times of the year, such as after major tournaments or competitions, are ideal for gradings to assess skills gained during competitive events.
Some practitioners choose to schedule gradings when they feel confident in their abilities, aligning with personal goals or milestones.
