Rank Requirements
Progression in rank in Kyokushin requires time, commitment, and determination.
Grading opportunities are typically offered 2-3 times a year, but
may come at any time the instructor feels the student is prepared
to take the challenge. Grading is a test of physical and mental strength,
and consists of kihon and basic training, kata, self-defense, and
kumite (fighting). The requirements for each rank are given below.
