Silent River Kung Fu Skill Stripe Ranking System

At Silent River Kung Fu we have a structured curriculum that ensures our students' progression by setting reasonable goals. With our Skill Stripe Ranking System, students are provided with immediate feedback that helps them narrow their focus on the specific skill sets required for continued progression.

Each colour stripe on a belt represents the perfection of a specific skill set. Students are continually tested on these skills and once they have perfected them to the level required for their next rank, they are presented with their skill stripe during their class. When a student has acquired all the coloured skill stripes, they are eligible to be graded to their next belt level.

Belt gradings for Black Dragon students are conducted once a month and are typically scheduled to take place on the first Saturday of the month at 1400 hrs. It is important that students inform their instructors of their intent to grade on a specific date (consult our News page for Schedule Notices) so that the proper arrangements can be made. A student's intention to grade can be submitted online or by submitting a written letter. Black Dragon student's must not forget to also submit their Intent to Promote letter prior to their grading.

Belt gradings for Teens and Adults are held during their regular class times.
