🏅 Belt Gradings & Progression

At Noor Karate, belt gradings are an important part of the journey for Juniors and Adults. Gradings take place several times a year, giving students a clear path of progression and something positive to work toward. Our grading system is aligned with traditional Shotokan standards.

Students are assessed on:

• Technical execution (kihon, kata, kumite)
  
  

• Effort and consistency
  
  

• Attitude, focus, and dojo etiquette
  
  

🕌 Values-Based Training

Each class is grounded in positive values drawn from traditional martial arts and value based principles — including sabr (patience), ihsan (excellence), and amanah (integrity). Our goal is to nurture strong, respectful individuals both on and off the mats.
