3 WHAT IS RHKA? The Rodney Hobson Karate Academy Grading Syllabus RHKA follows the principles of traditional Shotokan and its recognized forms of kumite, kihon and kata as taught O-Sensei Masami Tsuruoka, the father of Canadian Karate. The kata referred to in this syllabus are the 26 forms described by Masatoshi Nakayama. The system includes the principles of movement and creating power: body shifting, hip rotation, vibration, contraction and expansion, rising and falling. While many of the applications include defense against weapons, the practice of Shotokan is purely empty hand. AGE CONSIDERATIONS For the purposes of grading: All students up to and including 12 years of age are considered children. 13 to 17 are youth. 18 and up is adult. Students under the age of 18 cannot grade above junior shodan A student may grade to nidan at 19 or older. A student may grade to sandan at 21 or older. All dan ranks under the age of 18 are considered junior ranks. A child or youth is not considered to have the full power of an adult. At 18 a student must re-grade to receive adult dan ranks. TIME CONSIDERATIONS A student may register for grading as long as the class attendance is meeting minimum standard. A grading should be preceded by a period of regular training where the student has been studying under the guidance of a recognized dojo instructor. These time considerations must be balanced by the student s ability to perform the required techniques. 9 th Kyu - Red Belt 24 Classes 8 th Kyu - Yellow Belt 32 Classes 7 th Kyu - Orange Belt 48 Classes 6 th Kyu - Green Belt 56 Classes 5 th Kyu Blue Belt 64 Classes 4 th Kyu Purple Belt 64 Classes 3 rd Kyu Brown/White Belt 72 Classes 2 nd Kyu Brown Belt 80 Classes 1 st Kyu Brown/Black Belt 96 Classes Shodan to nidan two years Nidan to sandan three years Sandan to yondan four years Yondan to godan five years After godan rank will be conferred upon the recommendation of Sensei Tsuruoka 1

4 Following a failed dan test, a student must wait a minimum of six months before retesting. THE GRADING ITSELF The grading consists of three parts: kihon, kumite and kata. All parts should be tested in one session save as noted under B Grade. The techniques outlined here are a guideline for examiners. These are the basic requirements of RHKA. Note that: for kihon, the examiner will generally ask for four repetitions of a technique, for ippon and jiyu ippon kumite, the examiner may request that left side, right side or both sides be demonstrated, except where noted. NB: You may be asked to perform any part of the kihon, kata or kumite from a preceding test. SPARRING One Step Sparring (kihon ippon kumite) and Five Step Sparring (Gohon kumite) will be included in all gradings from seventh kyu to fourth kyu. No contact is permitted, and all techniques must be performed at maximum speed and strength. Free sparring (jiyu kumite) may be a requirement at the discretion of the examiner at all gradings from third kyu on. This is not competition sparring. The fight will not be stopped except to ensure the safety of the participants. All karate technique and targets are permissible including submission holds. All technique must have effectively incapacitated the opponent. SELF-DEFENCE For various reasons, including age or infirmity, the examiner may request a self-defence demonstration in lieu of jiyu kumite upon the recommendation of the instructor. WHAT IS A B GRADE? If an examinee is unsuccessful at two parts of any grading, they must retest. If they do not pass one portion of the grading, they will receive a B grade. This is a pass, in that the rank tested for is given, but they must wait a period of 6 months to re-test. For example, if they receive a B grade on their fifth kyu test, they are not eligible to grade to fourth kyu for at least six months. If they wish to test prior to the set period, they may test for the failed part of their present rank and must pass it before grading for the next level. 2
