When I did my shodan grading back in 2003 it went something like..
2 , 4 hour sessions.
400 (or was it 500?) of each of the basic kicks(front, side, back, mawashi
Same for some punches
Blocks-Shuto uke, outside block, inside block , down block , jodan age uke , and maybe one or 2 others.
Had to just demonstrate a few stances.
Katas were, basically all the katas I knew up to that point.
Pinan 1-5
Nihanshi 1-3
Passai sho and dai
Chinto
Kusanku
Gojushiho
Rohai
Seisan
I really cannot remember which ones were used for the grading itself, it's all such a blur now.
Kumite was just a few rounds of sparring, nothing'fight or die" like you might think.
There was some running, rolls , situps, breakfalls, breaking , an essay, a written exam, and..I had to conduct a short class. |

| Thanks I now get the right to add my opinion to the next black belt test at our dojo which is next month sometime. Thank god I went throught when I did I had two others going through with me. That meant a little rest will they fought and preformed their kata. The next poor soul is going up alone. |

You are having a laugh aren't you? Either that or your school is having one with you. I mean come on! "50 knuckles push ups in parking lot behind dojo"
Ive done a few JKF (Japan Karate Federation) dan gradings and never been asked to do half the mad stuff you were asked to do.
Are you pulling our legs lol!!

Not trying to pull anyones leg just telling what was on our Shodan test.
There were alot of old school back belts over seeing this grading. These guys were putting us through things they went through and what ever the thought would make things hard on us. |
