Pacificshore Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Generally speaking most styles require you to perform all that you have been taught from the white belt level up to your 1st degree black. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successful execution of a hand break - twice and a foot break twice. Then succesful kumite or sparring. Oh and a written test subimitted ahead of time.

Joe-jitsu Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 In my school of isshinryu you are tested on 8 empty hand katas, 2 weapon katas, basic chart techniques, physical fitness, takedowns, hold breaks, knife defense, you must make up your own kata from techniques from charts and other katas, kumite, self defense from various attacks. You must write essays on Funakoshi--My Way of Life, history of karate, stances strengths and weaknesses, mizu gami, Shimabuku, What karate means to me. You are tested on the four basic falls. The whole test takes about 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
