Gradings, also called rankings, occur twice a year. The gradings are a joint event with the sister club from Pembroke under Mark Stevens Sensei.
The fall grading is typically in late November or early December and in Deep River. The spring gradings are usually late May or early June in Pembroke. Only students recommended by their sensei attend a ranking. The senseis will advise those students of date, time and location.
