Thats a lot of Kata mal103

Don't worry we have a lifetime.....

I did my Nidan in 2 years but had to put in LOTS of extra hours training including most lunchtimes in the gym studio at work to learn and perform all the Kata for Nidan. Got a few of the next ones done but Sandan is a long way off.

[Nidan Melbourne]

yeah a lifetime to learn them. I am impressed that you are able to do it quite easily (i'm assuming here).

It would be a fair effort at the grading to remember all of them

Was at dojo (Honbu) this am, worked KuroWashi with our Master...
