How many Kata's till sho dan (1st degree) in your system.

[SBN Doug]

6 empty handed hyung (kata) to 1st degree.

After that, there is an average of 1 empty handed hyung and 2 weapons hyung per belt.

[Fairfax_Uechi]

five katas to shodan

Yea, and that's only because we have 8 Kata in the whole system!

Quality not quantity.

[SigungWhite]

In the Molum Pai Kung Fu System we have 4 empty hand forms and one weapon. There are 10 forms in the whole system. Each rank past that is two forms per rank.

could you tell us more about your system and katas?

[gimmik_3]

We have several...

12 katas

7 bunkai

For Karate:

8 kata to brown belt (1st kyu). Shodan students have a choice of 4 kata, plus having to repeat previous forms for their 1st dan testing.

For TKD:

8 poomsae to high red (1st kup), then Chodan students have to perform Koryo, plus previous forms for the testing.

In Wing Chun we don't have belt testing as such, although we do have 'levels'. Sifu can call students out to one side at any time and ask them to show him certain techniques. If they do well enough they're moved to the next level of training.

When I trained in Aikido we didn't have kata as such, although there were 2-person sets for 3rd kyu and above.

[pittbullJudoka]

I think that we have about 10 kata that are required.Then we have a 2 mile run lots of self defense,aleast eight rounds of grappling, and eight rounds of sparring.And what ever else Sensie decides we need to show him.
