Cost
Varies - For lower belts £6.00 per grading including certificate.
Higher belts will cost more due to duration of grading.
The length of time to reach different belts depends on how hard you work, how good you are at learning, whether you actually absorb criticism and improve. Practice hard, have a good time and the "belts" will take care of themselves.
