GRADING EXAMINATIONS
All gradings are to be of a national standard. To that end this is a guide to assist you to understand what system the examiner will be employing.
The examiner will be looking for two things.
1. The physical application of the demonstration of the techniques.
2. The mental application of the entrant whilst undergoing grading.
The examiner will be hard but fair, for in the assessment is the future standard of Taiho Jutsu.
No-one in any way will offer or give advice to the examiner in the acceptance of a particular technique prior to a clarification request by the examiner. His judgement is absolute. Any attempt to influence will result in the automatic failing of participant. Only the first demonstration will receive a mark.
If, in his judgement, the attitude of the entrant is such as to cause concern, then this will override any standard obtained with regard to the physical demonstration and a ‘fail’ will be given.
To assist you to understand how the marking of a grading occurs, the following is the examiners guide which will be strictly adhered to.
Every technique will be marked with points out of 10
(with the grade being attempted dictating the maximum points that can be allotted)
