Grade by recommendation

Not all qualities in martial arts such as experience, leadership, devotion and dedication are quantifiable, yet they are to be respected and treasured. Recommendation grades were created with this idea in mind. Not all candidates have the technical ability to fulfill the criteria for a given grade but a dan grade signifies more than technical ability, especially in senior dan ranks.

JKF Wadokai has established a recommended dan grade for each of the dan ranks.
Practical dan ranks do not have any time in grade requirement between ranks until 5th dan.

A recommended dan rank is required to have time in grade before challenging the next higher
dan grade (unless they retake the dan and pass the practical examination).

A recommended dan rank will not serve as a prerequisite for any requirement for JKF Wado Kai
licenses or titles such as instructor's or examiners' licenses.

Recommended dan candidates must pay the full recommended dan rank fee.
Candidates can attempt practical dan examinations at the equivalent rank at any time.

Upon passing a practical equivalent dan examination, a candidate must submit the practical dan fee at that time. The recommended dan grade fee will not be refunded.
