Congratulations to Our Belt Grading Students!

On Saturday, we welcomed an exciting and proud moment at Elemental Kickboxing Leeds — our latest belt grading day! Grading is one of the most important events in any martial artist’s journey. It marks not just a change in belt colour, but a recognition of the effort, consistency, and growth each student has shown over time. We’re delighted to say that everyone who took part rose to the occasion and gave it their all.

Each grading is an opportunity to demonstrate skills, knowledge, discipline, and spirit — and every single student showed just that. Whether you were nervous for your first-ever belt or stepping up to one of the senior ranks, your performance showed just how much progress has been made.

Here’s a huge round of applause for all our successful students:

🟡 Yellow Belt – A brilliant start to your journey!
Amez, Chesy-Jo, Teddy, Rosie & Isaac
These students showed great enthusiasm, strong foundational skills, and the confidence to push themselves out of their comfort zones. You’ve made a fantastic start — keep going!

🟠 Orange Belt – Building strength and control!
Michael, Nicholas, Majid, Phoebe, Noel & Levent
At this stage, students demonstrated improved technique and power, and greater understanding of combinations. It’s clear they’ve been putting in the work!

🔴 Red Belt – More precision, more challenge!
Aniyah, Detroit, Sammy, Noah, Millie & Natasha
The red belt group tackled more complex techniques and advanced drills, kata forms and light continuous sparring with growing maturity and control. A key milestone achieved — well done all!

🟣 Junior Purple Belt – Stepping into intermediate territory!
Jacob, Kaden & Ronnie
Now moving into more advanced training, this group showed focus, flow, and tactical awareness. You’re starting to lead by example — great job.

🟪 Purple Belt – A real display of commitment!
Drewie & Rachel
This belt marks a shift from learning to refining. With strong technique, a sharper eye for detail, and consistent effort, you’re on the path to higher ranks — keep pushing!

🔵 Junior Blue Belt – Impressive skills and mental discipline!
Oliver & Nico
You showed not only technique but patience and resilience. At this level, you're becoming more well-rounded martial artists — and it shows.

🟤 Junior Brown Belt – A higher level of performance!
Jaya & Noah
Achieving this rank reflects years of hard work and the maturity to meet new challenges head-on. We were particularly impressed with your poise and determination.

🟤🟤Brown II Belt – Nearing the final stages of the syllabus

Chris & Shaan
Brown II is a significant achievement, marking your progress into the advanced levels of our system. With just Senior Brown and then 1st Dan Black Belt ahead, you're now deep into the technical and mental side of martial arts. Both of you graded with confidence, consistency, and control — and your growing leadership in class sets a great example. Keep pushing — you're nearly there!

💬 A Message from the Team
At Elemental Kickboxing Leeds, we believe that martial arts is about more than just technique — it’s about growth, resilience, and community. Grading is just one part of that journey, but it represents so much: the sweat in training, the learning from mistakes, the encouragement from teammates, and the pride in personal progress.

To all our students who graded — thank you for representing the spirit of our club so well. Your instructors are incredibly proud, and we’re excited to keep guiding you forward.

Let this achievement inspire you to aim even higher. Your next belt is already waiting — but for now, enjoy the moment and be proud of what you’ve accomplished.

🥊 Keep training. Keep improving. Keep believing.
