For the small dojos, how about no grading? Sensei gives you your belt when he feels you've earned it. From what he's seen in class week after week month after month he silently grades you in everything you do kata, kihon, kumite or how far you've progressed in physical conditioning or how you treat others and your attitude toward pushing yourself.
