Brown Belt

Three months prior to your grading date, you should know the moves for all kata to your level.

Pick 2 or 3 days that are not karate class days to practice, spend at least 15 minutes per session.

Repetition is important. Practice each kata 3 times in a row before moving on to the next one.

Be diligent - All of your kata repertoire will be tested.

Do not neglect the beginner kata or kobudo.

Consider attending optional classes or private kata reviews for extra support when preparing for a belt test.
