Grading The grade of a karateka is signified by the colour of the belt. When a student starts training they have a white belt. They can then take a grading to gain a yellow belt or 8th Kyu. At successive gradings the colour of the belt changes until they reach a brown belt. At this stage the student is expected to have achieved a reasonable level of competence and they are now perfecting their skills and learning the kata necessary to attain a black belt. The whole process takes a minimum of 4 years.
Kata All gradings require the learning of a kata. These are choreographed sequences of punches kicks and blocks. The kata below are all the kata that must be learnt and perfected to attain a black belt. Each belt requires the learning of one or more of these kata. Pinan Nidan Show
