Dan Grading for Men & Women – Samurai, Kidderminster – 21 Jun 25
June 21, 2025

Categories:
This is a dan grading for men and women currently graded 1st kyu to 4th dan.
This follows our previous extremely successful gradings, we average over 60 players at each
grading and usually have sufficient high grades that men can be graded to 5th dan on the day and
women have line-ups and points for up to 4th dan. We therefore confidently expect a high turnout of
all grades for this grading.
Masters will be paired together where reasonably possible.
Book-In:
Male 1st kyu: 9.30 – 9.50 am Male dan grades: 11.30-12.00 noon
All women: 11.30-12.00 noon
Eligibility:
All candidates must hold current BJA membership and be a minimum of 15 years of age. Candidates
must be BJA 1st kyu or above. Players holding AJA or BJC grades and wishing to convert to BJA
grades are also welcome, please contact us by email to discuss, well in advance of the event.
For dan grades, please note that it is the COMPETITIVE dan grade which is the relevant grade. For
example, a competitive 2nd dan who holds a technical 3rd dan is regarded for the purposes of this
grading as a 2nd dan.
