My school practices Taikyokus ich, ni and san, and wansu (Unsu for you japanese folks) during the white belt levels. There are three white belt levels at my school.

eek - unsu (Wansu) for whitebelts - wow! :o

 

How complicated would you rate this kata for the various white belts (I assume you mean up to 7th kyu by three levels) and do most students manage this kata well?

 

Unsu is seen as a 2nd/3rd dan kata (in our shotokan group anyway) as it is pretty complicated and needs tremendous agility for the spinning jump thingy!

 

White belts with us only tend to go as far as one kata above their grading kata unless they have prior experience (in Shotokan or other arts) in which case sometimes 2 or 3 above their grading kata - depending on how quickly they can pick the kata up to a sufficient degree.
