1st dan shotokan

Featured Replies

Hi everyone!

I was recently promoved to brown belt and since I've started karate I've checked lots of exams on youtube.So, I would like to ask you the syllabus for the 1st dan exam in shotokan karate(especially the kihon combinations).

Congrats on your recent promotion to brown belt!!

Here's the link to the JKA's [Japan Karate Association] Shodan requirements...

As always, Shodan requirements are subjective to the governing body for which manages said rank.

Thank you very much everyone!

You can compare it with other syllabus, we have some listed on our website but they are more of a guide - especially for Dan grades - they are more likely to change as ideally the student at that level should be able to adapt.

Normally the grade includes all Kata - 5xHeian, Tekki Shodan, Bassai Dai, some include Hangetsu or Empi.

Also all Kumite sets but these vary a lot between clubs and orgs.

When you are ready then your Sensei will know.
