We need to be able to perform any one of the following:

Heian Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Godan, or Tekki Shodan.

Plus choose from one of the Brown Belt Katas:

Bassai Dai, Kanku Dai, Jion, Empi, Hangetsu.

So more than likely my grading will consist of Bassai Dai + 1 Heian Kata.

Lotan, it is a crane kata that my teacher has made using the various different crane techniques in our system. lots of one leg stances and lots of kicks and double blocks.

If I remember correctly we had to do

All Heian Katas if asked as well as Tekki or Basai Dai

And choose two from the following.

Kanku Dai, Jion, Jitte, Enpi

I never did the grading but I think my choice was Kanku Dai and Jion.

The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.

Not Karate but...

A form called Choong-Moo (+ all previous ones)

Then at 1st dan we learn Kwang-Gae, Po-Eun and Ge-Baek..

bassai dai and tekki shodan for our browns trying to get shodan

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.


You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.

All 5 Pinan (Heian) kata, 3 Naifanchi (Tekki) kata, and 2 of your choice, within a certain range of options i.e. not too basic, but maybe saving some of the harder ones for future tests. Many people choose Bassai Dai and Seipai, which are the ones I plan to use. Other popular choices are Seinchin, Rohai Nidan, and Jion.

Oh, forgot to mention in my previous post. This is for shodan-ho, so for shodan I will probably do Seinchin and Jion. Too many chances to fall over with Rohai in a high pressure situation, though my balance continues to improve, so we'll see! :lol:
