It's been a while since we've posted about graduations, but that doesn't mean they've not been happening!

In 2025, well over 1000 AEGIS students attended graduations, and we're off to a strong start in 2026. Our first grading in early March saw a number of students progress to their next belts. We also had a number of our highest-rank students complete their Mid-Terms, where they complete the grading event and receive valuable feedback, ready for their next rank promotion.

Graduations aren't just about getting a new belt (though we know that's the best part!). They're about recognising hard work in classes, and showcasing perseverance, skill and attitude. Not everyone progresses to their next belt rank straight away - and that's okay! Achieving Black Belt doesn't happen overnight - it's a journey that will look different to every single student who steps on the mats.

We look forward to seeing what the rest of 2026 holds for our future AEGIS Black Belts!
