coltmakai Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 Could someone give me an ordered list of the shotokan katas that are required to receive black belt?
shotochem Posted July 3, 2002 Posted July 3, 2002 The Shotokan Kata Heian Shodan Heian Nidan Heian Sandan Heian Yondan Heian Godan Tekki Shodan Tekki Nidan Tekki Sandan Bassai Dai Kanku-Dai Jion Enpi Gankaku Jutte Hangetsu Bassai-Sho Kanku-sho Chinte Sochin Nijushiho Meikyo Gojushiho Dai Gojushiho Sho Unsu Wankan Jiin Usually the 5 heians, Tekki shodan, Bassi Dai, and Jion, Empi,Kanku Dai are needed for shodan. You will also need the required kumite and kihon as well. The number of advanced kata and which ones vary between organisations. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
G95champ Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 Some branches of Shotokan don't use all of them. http://www.angelfire.com/wv2/wvka thats my school web site and I got a referance list as to how we test on them.
