SUMMARY:Dan Grade theory course
DESCRIPTION:This practical mat-based course is suitable for players graded 1st kyu to 4th dan preparing for competitive and technical dan grade skills assessments. Competitive and technical skills examinations will be conducted during the course, but you will need to have completed some prior preparation if you wish to be examined on the day. To be examined on the day, you must have selected your Performance Skills techniques (Sections 3 to 5) before attending. Players are of course welcome to attend the course and arrange examination at a later date. The course fee includes the examination, so anyone preferring to be examined at a later date may make suitable arrangements with the examiners.\nPlease bring a pen and notebook, zori and a packed lunch.
