The Leeds Karate Academy regularly undertakes grading examinations which are nationally and internationally recognised (through the Karate Union of Great Britain and World Shotokan Karate Association).
The club's kyu gradings are taken by senior instructors appointed by the KUGB Technical Commitee at periods of 3 months.
