Are you starting to master the forms you’ve been practising for hours? Ready for the next challenge?
Due to the latest restrictions in place to protect the community against the COVID-19 outbreak, our next grading will be virtual. If eligible, students will grade via Zoom and will be required to demonstrate their full range of skills and techniques to progress to their next belt level.
Your supportive grading instructors will allow you to reach the next step in your Taekwondo journey. To register for the grading, please log in to your Zenplanner app to book a time slot. To maintain the formality and tradition of a grading you will be tested with other students on the same level.

Our Grading Structure
At Power with Purpose we proudly boast that our students exemplify the highest degree of discipline, technique and determination found within Martial Arts.

Senior vs Junior Gradings
To make sure every person gets enough time and space to be fairly Graded we have two different sessions.
Any blue belt and above will be undertaking a senior ranking whilst any belt below blue will be a Junior.
Each grading goes for approximately 90 minutes allowing Matt, Michael and Jason to evaluate the skills, discipline and techniques of their students.
Contact us to find out which Grading is right for you.
Am I ready?
Feeling confident? Mastered the forms and techniques you’ve been practicing for weeks?
It may take years, months or weeks…every person learns at a different pace. At Power with Purpose we encourage our students to go for their grading only when they are confident in their ability and demonstrated the skills necessary to our instructors.
To quote the infamous Bruce Lee, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”
More than just a belt
During class your child is willinging to listen, respecting their fellow students and instructor….at home or school it seems like all of the good behaviour disappears! We believe our students need to demonstrate the discipline required for each belt inside and outside the club.
Our Instructors will only recommend students for grading if they have reflected the maturity necessary to progress to the next rank.
Grand Master Park
Each year Kwan-Jang-Nim “Lion” Park is invited to attend our black belt grading. He has reached the highest level of Taekwondo as a 9th Dan Black Belt.
Grand Master Park is a welcomed guest at our Black Belt gradings. Each Power with Purpose student is recognised by Grand Master Park and receives his WTF Australian Taekwondo Academy certificate.
To this day he continues to encourage a high standard of taekwondo, self-discipline and self-control.
