Belt progression for the Lil Dragons is achieved through both attendance and ability. Every weekly class that a Dragon attends is recorded on our student system, plus marked on an attendance card, as a means of knowing and checking Lil Dragon numbers in event of an emergency. For every 4 weeks that a Dragon attends class they will receive a black stripe on their Belt. They progress to the next Belt once they have received 4 stripes. The Belt is awarded the next class attended after receiving a 4th stripe. There is a certificate given the same time as the Belt to recognise their achievement and there is a £10.00 fee for the Belt and certificate.

The Belt colours are: White; Yellow; Orange; Red; Green; Blue and then Purple and Brown with a stripe every 8 weeks for these higher belts.

The intention is, whatever the finishing Lil Dragon Belt colour, by the time a Lil Dragon reaches 8 years of age to progress and start in the Juniors Kempo class they will have the necessary relevant skill-set equivalent to go for a full Kempo White Belt at their first Kempo Grading.

Belt advancement to progress through the Kempo Belt rankings are achieved by attending and, successfully, completing the Grading exam done at the end of every syllabus term. The Gradings are based upon the syllabus techniques taught and learned during that term. All new Junior and Adult students have to complete and pass their Kempo White Belt Stripe Grading to achieve the basic Kempo White Belt before they can commence the rolling 2-year syllabus programme of Kempo techniques. It does not matter when in the programme a student  starts with SOS as all will be at the required skill level needed by successfully achieving a Kempo White Belt to then start on the rolling 2-year syllabus programme. However, their individual starting point may/will be different in the programme to another student that has started at a different time. Irrespective of start point during the programme, all students will have completed the rolling syllabus 2 times before attaining the belt to start on the advanced programme for achieving 1st Dan Black Belt. The Belt colours are: White; Yellow; Orange;Red; Green; Blue; Purple Stripe; Purple; Brown Stripe; Brown; Black. It takes a minimum of 5 years from starting point to achieve 1st Dan Black Belt.

All syllabus and gradings are in conjunction with and run concurrent with the syllabus being taught in the SKA (Scottish Kempo Academy) and all Gradings are done in the presence of the Kempo Grading panel, including the SKA and SOS Chief Coaches, at the same times and venues as SKA Gradings with all Grading fees payable on the day to the SKA at the SKA fees.
