Graduations
Grading is not compulsory, but it is a way to mark one's aikido development and eventually gives access to more advanced training opportunities. Grading opportunities for the white belt degrees, the kyu degrees, are given at the club's end of term. Adults start at 6 kyu. Ask the beginner instructors to find out more.
Well in advance of your 4-kyu grading, you need to get a mentor to tune in to your fitness-wise and get some instructions on what to work on. Mentors are instructors in the club who have at least 2 dan and are fukushidoin, shidoin or shihan. See further the list of ours instructors.
We apply the following minimum requirements for grading:
| Degree | Minimum requirements | Video (opens in YouTube) |
| 6 kyu | at least 20 training sessions | Film |
| 5 kyu | at least 30 training sessions since 6 kyu | Film |
| 4 kyu | at least 40 training sessions since 5 kyu | Film |
| 3 kyu | at least 50 training sessions since 4 kyu | Film |
| 2 kyu | at least 50 training sessions since 3 kyu | Film |
| 1 kyu | at least 60 training sessions since 2 kyu | Film |
Grading scheme
Grading scheme for sixth to first kyu is available as PDF files in A4 and A3.
Dan degrees
Dan degrees - black belt degrees - are usually taken before the Swedish grading committee in connection with a larger camp. Read more here.
