Gradings (8 gup and above) typically last for 3 hours and are conducted by either Master M.Y. Kim (7th Dan, the head of SulKiDo) or another external Master-graded instructor. The Yellow-Tag grading is conducted locally and is free to Oxford members.
In order to take a grading a student must be a member of the UKSF (United Kingdom SulKiDo Federation) and pay a grading-specific fee. Membership of UKSF costs £30 (we usually manage to subsidise this out of Oxford funds).
