Canadian Kurash Grading Requirements
Techniques must be demonstrated both right and left sided. All techniques from prior grades will be tested also.
Grades can be acquired through correspondence by sending a video of techniques-demonstration and of fighting with a partner according to correct Kurash rules. Tournament participation can be waived in cases of remote location.
