Wayofaswede Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thank you very much all three of you. Best of luck with your test Questor, do let us know everything about it.Just went through all the required katas for 3 kyu + bunkai for each. My ambition is to go through as many of these as possible each day now that it’s less than a week left before the test. Really enjoy mentally going into ”Karate mode” putting in extra time and focus the week before a test.If you’re curious, these are the katas:Ji no kata 1-8Emppi/Shuto RoppoGo ukePinan Nidan/Shodan/Sandan/Yondan/GodanGekisaidai Shodan/NidanJurokoSanchin (short version - the one I know - is accepted) The path so far: 2 kyu Karate (Shito-ryu), 3 kyu Aikido (Aikikai), 5 kyu Judo, 9 kyu Bujinkan Budo TaijutsuNot a day without a kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaine Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Sanchin (short version - the one I know - is accepted)The short version? I have only ever known just one version, which is pretty short. Does your system have multiple? Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayofaswede Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 I believe our short one is only half the length of the ”standard” one, Zaine. It includes no turn.Back home again after passing today’s test for 3 kyu. In our system that means a green belt with two stripes. The path so far: 2 kyu Karate (Shito-ryu), 3 kyu Aikido (Aikikai), 5 kyu Judo, 9 kyu Bujinkan Budo TaijutsuNot a day without a kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurik Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Glad to hear you’re still training, Swede! And speaking as a parent it is a more fulfilling experience when you get to share it with your mini-me as well. I generally do one or two classes a week with my 9 year old son; we also have our age/rank specific classes. I have really enjoyed watching him grow and mature through karate. He has now been training at this dojo for about 4.5 years, and he should be testing for nikyu in the next couple of months. I don’t always stay to watch him in class, but when I do I’m very proud of how far he has come.
