mouko_yamamoto Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 when you were a white belt, how many katas did you learn? Does it vary from school to school?

cross Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 I think it varies from school to school but i learned 2
G95champ Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 It will change from school to school and style to style. For the most part you will see one kata per belt at least in the early stages. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Sasori_Te Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 G95 is correct. one per belt is the norm. Although I start teaching the movements for sanchin as well as the first kata required for grading. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
mouko_yamamoto Posted August 31, 2003 Author Posted August 31, 2003 yeah, I know one kata right now. They call it low form one. oh, and thanks for answering.

karatekid1975 Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 In TSD, I learned three at white belt, because the adults skipped yellow belt. In TKD (in my school anyways), we learn one. One kata per belt level. Laurie F
CheekyMusician Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 I only learned one kata at white belt, too. Although I learned Kihon kata (Taikyoku Shodan) and as Heian Shodan is quite similar, once I'd learned my first kata, I already had the back of my second kata well and truly broken. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.

mouko_yamamoto Posted August 31, 2003 Author Posted August 31, 2003 THis is off topic but, can you tell me what is in a yellow belt test? Or can you direct me to where this already been asked?
