Dan Grading


Recommended Posts

Part 1 of my Dan Grading on Friday - with my own sensei. I have to do a written exam, basics, 5 bb combinations, 5 pair techniques that I devised myself, every kata I know (10 in all), and fight for 30 minutes continuous.

Then, in September, Part 2 with the head sensei of the organisation.

Hi Bushido Man, the 5 combinations each consist of about 8 or 9 techniques in sequence, so, number 1 is:

junzuki, gyakuzuki, surikomi mawashigeri chudan, mawatte uraken, mawatte ushirogei, jodan uke, gyakuzuki chudan, ashi barai, gyakuzuki gedan.

It takes a while to learn them all, but it's easier to do them than to write them down!

I study Chito-Ryu but some of the moves are the same so I will try to explain what I can to the best of my abilities.

junzuki : forward punch with the front arm (we call it Oi-zuki)

Gyaku-zuki: Reverse punch

surikomi : I found that on some wado-ryu forum : means to take the back leg and cross it over the front leg to go forward.

Mawashi-geri chudan: (Mawashi-geri : Roundhouse kick) (Chudan: Middle)

Mawatte uraken : (Mawatte : command to turn) (uraken : strike with the top of the fist)

mawatte ushirogei : (Mawatte : command to turn) ( ushiro-geri : Back kick with the heel)

jodan uke : (Jodan : High) (Uke : Block)

gyakuzuki chudan : (Gyaku-zuki : Reverse punch) (Chudan: Middle)

ashi barai : barai is "sweep". I found on the net that ashi barai seems to be "lower leg sweep" we call it "Deashi-barai"

gyakuzuki gedan : (Gyaku-zuki : Reverse punch) (Gedan: Low)

Hope this helps
