Upcoming Mid-Year Grading
Important details for GARRA BJJ Kelvin Grove students preparing for the upcoming grading event.
GARRA BJJ Kelvin Grove Students Only
This grading event is specifically for eligible students training at GARRA BJJ Kelvin Grove.
We are excited to announce our upcoming Mid-Year Grading, taking place on Saturday, 20 June 2026.
This is an invitation-only grading event. Students who are eligible and invited to grade will receive a confirmation email soon. Please make sure your attendance and profile information are up to date so your eligibility can be reviewed correctly.
Students invited for grading will receive a confirmation email soon. Please make sure you meet the requirements and keep your profile updated.
Event Details
5 years to 8 years, unless already training regularly with the Senior Kids classes.
9 years to 14 years, unless already training regularly with the Adults classes.
15 years and over, or students already training regularly with the Adults classes.
Attendance Requirements
To be considered for grading, students must meet the minimum attendance requirements:
Adults
Minimum of 30 classes
Junior Kids & Senior Kids
Minimum of 15 classes
You can check your attendance history through the GARRA BJJ member portal.
Please note that in Jiu-Jitsu it is completely normal for students not to grade at every ceremony. Grading is based on consistency, attendance, attitude, technical development, and overall progress throughout training. These requirements apply equally to all students. If a student has not yet met the minimum grading requirements, their attendance will continue to accumulate and be carried over towards their next grading evaluation.
Mandatory Profile Update
Please make sure your member profile is fully updated before grading invitations are finalised. The following information is mandatory:
- Rank / Belt Level
- Profile Photo
- Belt Size
These details are important for student progress tracking, grading preparation, and belt organisation.
Grading Fee
$60
A grading fee applies to students who are officially invited to grade. This fee will be processed for invited students in line with the grading process.
Unable to Attend?
Students who are invited but are unable to attend the official grading event will be graded during subsequent classes after the grading date.
Need Help?
If you have any issues accessing your account, checking your attendance, or updating your profile, please contact Eduardo at GARRA BJJ Reception. He will be happy to assist you with setting up your account and finalising your profile details.
Thank you for your continued commitment to GARRA BJJ. We look forward to celebrating your progress and achievements on the mats.
