I do Shotokan karate. I'm a purple belt now, but I find it useful to know the kata after the one I need for my grading. It gets stuck in your memory, I think.

Our belts go: White, orange, red, yellow, green, purple, purple white stripe, brown, brown white stripe, brown two white stripes, black.

P.S. Does anyone know any Ju Jitsu/Kung Fu classes for 13 year olds?? I am always too young to join :(

I'm currently working on improving and refining Sochin kata for karate and Taeguek 7 (Chil Jang) for TKD.

In my karate school we have the following order:

white - Kihon

orange - Heian Shodan

red - H. Nidan

yellow - H. Sandan

green - H. Yondan

purple - H. Godan

purple (2) - Tekki Shodan

brown (all 3 levels) - Bassai Dai

To grade for 1st Dan a student needs to know Bassai Dai and can choose any other kata from Kanku Dai, Enpi, Hangetsu or Jion.

In TKD the order is

white- 10 basics pattern

yellow tag - Taegeuk Il Jang

yellow - Taeguek Ee Jang

green tag - Taegeuk Sam Jang

green - Taegeuk Sah Jang

blue tag - Taegeuk Oh Jang

blue - Taegeuk Yuk Jang

red tag - Taegeuk Chil Jang

red belt - Taeguek Pal Jang

black tag - all previous patterns + Koryo

black belt 1st dan - all previous patterns + Koryo

Finishing up Pinan Godan. Next will be Itotsu no Passai.

Nijushiho.

But I try and practice them all, have you ever done every kata you know, back to back, full speed? That's a workout...

At this point I am learning to perfect what I have already learned. Someday perhaps I would like to learn the Kyoku kata series (or some of them)

I study Shin Neko Do GoJu, this is derived from Okinawan GoJu, so our Red Belt would be a 10th degree grandmaster. Our brown is equivalent to most red belts (after brown, we promote to black).

I am currently studying Senseiru and Seisan; I must know these to pass my black belt test.
