Jade Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 The katas for Brown belts Kanku Dai, Bassai Dai,Jion,and Hangetsu. So what are the Black belt katas? I know Nijushiho and i am a Brown double white. If you're asking which are the katas required to pass each test in Italy you need the followings: For brown belt: you have to know all 5 heians, Tekki Shodan, Bassai Dai and Kanku Dai(optional) For first dan black belt: You need to have mastered Kanku Dai, Bassai Dai and Jion.
