BROWN BELT
First Kyu
The
following are the basic 1st kyu examination requirements
of our dojo.
The kihon,
kata, and kumite listed below are in keeping with the
requirements and standards as set out by Shihan Kenneth
Funakoshi, 9th Dan, of the Funakoshi Shotokan Karate
Association (FSKA) and these requirements are subject to
change at anytime.
All
students should familiarize themselves with the various
requirements for each belt level prior to turning in
their grading application. If you are unfamiliar with any
of the kihon, kata, or kumite required for your next belt
level, you should not attempt to grade, but instead
continue to train until you feel comfortable with all of
the techniques that are required.
Remember
Karate-Do
is for a lifetime, it is not a race, and your
personal
progress should never be treated as such.
1st Kyu
Examination Requirements
You will
find that the techniques listed below are given first in
English and then in Japanese.
While
commands are often given in both languages Japanese is
customarily the "language of the dojo" and as
such all students are encouraged to familiarize
themselves with the Japanese pronunciation of each word and it's
corresponding meaning.
All of the
movements listed below require the student to make a
mawate (turn) after finishing their last forward
technique, so that they will still be moving forward when
returning down the same embusen (line).
The student
should then make another mawate (turn) when the student
has finished all of the required movements and they are
back to their starting point, they should then wait for
the proper commands, (yame - naote) then stand up and bow
