GRADINGS AT Shotokan Karate Club - JKA-SKC

Kyu Examinations at the Shotokan Karate Club

The examiner may include supplementary requirements at their discretion during the grading without prior notice.

We strongly advocate for students to participate in two training sessions per week, fostering the cultivation of self-training routines to enrich their karate journey.

To support this endeavor, a dedicated club member at the shotokan karate club perth has created Kihon.Coach, an invaluable resource exclusively accessible to registered members, designed to facilitate self-guided practice sessions.

How long will the examination take?

For each student, the exam time may vary however a Kyu examination may last anywhere from 10 minutes to 60 minutes.

Students are tested in three areas; Kihon (Basics), Kata (Form – patterns of movement) and Kumite (Sparring).

What is the purpose of the examination?

Ideally, the exam is an opportunity for students to perform and demonstrate what they have learned in the dojo. Training in the dojo and taking the exam are much the same. In fact, each student has practiced the required drills hundreds of times prior to taking the exam. One of the assessment areas will be on how does the student perform under pressure? Are the techniques second nature? Is the student intimidated by the process and is this reflected in their performance? Does the student perform with confidence? (Confidence comes only with repetition and regular training).

How should students prepare for the examination?

Students' performance should reflect their cumulative effort. Every student that puts forth good effort and maintains a steady training regimen will get a grading that is commensurate with their level of commitment.

On the day of the exam, you are required to arrive early enough to warm up thoroughly and practice. During the exam, remain calm, breath in a natural and comfortable pattern and try to enjoy the experience.

How many training days are required prior to testing?

Each student must be familiar with level appropriate skills and techniques. We highly recommend a training twice a week at the dojo plus self training. Allowing a minimum of 40 hours of practise prior to each grading.

Do you offer private lessons?

Yes, we offer limited private lessons for individuals. 30 minutes class is $30 and needs to be paid 24 hours prior to class.
