Update for Members:
Please note that Exeter is no longer a black belt grading centre. It will now only serve as a Kyu grading centre. However, Exeter will continue to host brown and black belt courses where attendees can have their cards signed.
The designated black belt grading centres are now limited to Swindon, Reading, and the summer and winter camps.
Thank you for your understanding.
