wagnerk Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Thought that I already answered this, but I guess I'm wrong Shotokan (the listed below are the grading kata, but we were required to do the kata's for the previous grades as well):10th Kyu: Taikyuku Shodan (up to first Kiai)9th Kyu: Taikyuku Shodan8th Kyu: Heian Shodan7th Kyu: Heian Nidan6th Kyu: Heian Sandan5th Kyu: Heian Yondan4th Kyu: Heidan Godan3rd Kyu: Tekki Shodan2nd Kyu: Bassai Dai1st Kyu: Choice of Kanku Dai, Enpi, Jion, Jitte (plus one other as asked by examiner)1st Dan: Choice of Kanku Dai, Enpi, Jion, Jiin, Gankaku, Hangetsu (plus one other as asked by examiner)The ones in bold are the ones that I choose as my grading kata. We also had to do Wankan which was the associations kata, however can't remember at which gradings we had to perform it. Tang Soo Do: 3rd Dan '18Shotokan Karate: 2nd Dan '04
