SaiFightsMS Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 The minimun time between shodan and nidan varies between schools. Some schools it is as little as 1 year. Some it is up to 7 years. It is the association or the club that sets the guidelines there is no universal answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 We do 1 year from shodan to nidan then it is 3 from nidan to sandan. (General George S.

Iwant2BaDragon Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 shotokan karate right ? well most shotokan karate oraganisations are affiliated to KUGB and JKA , with which you get a red grading licence ? no ? ummm. well anyhow the rules it states in there are "Th minimum period between taking !st kyu and 1st dan is six months. The minimum amount of time which must have elapsed between dan gradings are as follows : 1st-2nd dan 2 years 2-3 3 years 3-4 4 years 4-5 5 years 5th-6thdan 6 years. Maybe your not affiliated to KUGB ? well i hope i helped a little. good luck with the exams . oss. Empty your mind : be formless, shapeless like water. Now you can put water inot a cup and it becomes that cup. Now water can flow and it can crash. Be water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
