The purpose of the grade is also to indicate what level the instructor can expect from the student. The grades in the adults' system are white (beginner), yellow (5th kyu), orange (4th kyu), green (3rd kyu), blue (2nd kyu), brown (1st kyu). There are 8-12 different black belt levels depending on the style (1st dan, 2nd dan, 3rd dan etc.) Already a 3rd dan can be considered rare. The grades are awarded in gradings, which are organized by clubs. The Finnish Karate Federation grading system: In order to achieve the right to award grades, one must take the grading course and be awarded the grading license. Also, in order to award the yellow or orange belt, one must have at least brown belt. To award the green or blue belt, one must have at least black (1st dan) belt. At least 2nd dan black belt is required to award brown belts. The brown belt can also be awarded by the dan-committee in the same way as the dan-grades. The dan-committee is comprised of 4-6 black belts. The Finnish Karate Federation has also issued recommendations for minimum time limits between the grades. Also, many clubs have their own requirements for minimum amount of participated training sessions. BEGIN GIN- NERS COUR SE YEL- LOW OR- AN- GE GREE N BLUE BROWN BLACK 1st dan FKF time limit! One must always carefully prepare himself for the grading. One should not attend the grading, if he is not certain about his ability. In the grading, one should do his best and perform the techniques as powerful, fast and purely as possible. Also the mental attitude is important. Despite the fact that if there are flaws in the previously mentioned matters and therefore one does not pass the grading, he should not give up. On the contrary, it should encourage one to practice even harder. Acquiring a certain grade should not be the ultimate goal and one must not settle for it because gradings and even competitions are only tests. Real budo is training.

18 18 Grading syllabus Joen Mawashi ry PAIR TECHNIQUES (KUMITE) The aim of practicing the pair techniques is to - develop the perception of distance (ma-ai) and to learn to perform the techniques from an optimal distance - learn to attack efficiently - learn timing (body movement and technique are simultaneous) - develop balance - help to apply the correct body movements learned in kihon with a partner. ONE STEP SPARRING (IPPON KUMITE) The aim of Ippon Kumite -training is to - learn to focus the attacks to correct target - learn to use real and efficient way of attacking - to perform technically correct and as fast as possible - to develop the reaction ability and situation control of the defender in such a way that the defender moves after the attacker, even though the attacks are prearranged - learn to move the body away from the attacking line while blocking and to learn to perform the counter attack from an optimal distance (the principle of minimum dodging) immediately after dodging and blocking Ippon Kumite -techniques are the fundamentals of pairworking. Both parties must pay attention to correct distance, timing, correct stances and technical perfection. Ippon Kumite -techniques start from the attention stance from which both parties prepare theirselves by taking the yoi-stance from the attacker s initiative. In chudan uke and jodan uke techniques, the attacker moves to a left forward stance (junzuki hidari gamae) while the defender stays in yoi-stance. In maegeri uke, the attacker moves to a left fighting stance (hidari hanmi gamae) and the defender moves from the attacker s initiative to either left or right fighting stance (hanmi gamae) depending on which side the defending is to be performed. After the performance, both parties slide or step back to a right fighting stance from which both return to attention stance at the same time by pulling the front foot and then return to the starting place and take the yoistance. Chudan uke no. 1-2 Soto-uke A: Junzuki chudan D: One moves away from the attacking line with a short slide to the back-left while keeping the body still facing the attacker. At the same time one performs a right soto-uke block. Immediately after the block, one grabs the attacker s right wrist, unbalances him by pulling from the wrist and performs a maegeri chudan with the front (right) foot. One continues the counter attack by performing a left chudan gyakuzuki while returning the right foot on to the ground. Uchi-uke A: Junzuki chudan D: One moves away from the attacking line to the right side of the punch (as seen from the defenders view) into a shiko-dachi stance without moving the right foot. At the same time one performs a right uchi-uke block directed along the attackers arm. One counter attacks immediately after the block by performing a right chudan yoko empi while sliding towards the attacker in the shiko-dachi stance. (Dodging the attack should be done straight backwards and the turning of the body to the left into shiko-dachi should be done at late as possible.)

19 Joen Mawashi ry Grading syllabus 19 Jodan uke 1-4 Jodan uke ipponme (no.1) A: Junzuki jodan D: One moves away from the attacking line to the right side of the punch (as seen from the defenders view) into a shiko-dachi stance without moving the right foot. At the same time one performs a left haishu-uke (back of the hand) block directed along the attackers arm and a right kagizuki targeted towards the attacker s chin. One continues the counter attack by moving into a right zenkutsu-dachi and at the same time performing a left elbow strike, chudan mae empi. (Dodging the attack should be done straight backwards and the turning of the body to the left into shiko-dachi together with the block and punch should be done at late as possible.) Jodan uke nihonme (no.2) A: Junzuki jodan D: One moves away from the attacking line to the right side of the punch (as seen from the defenders view) into a shiko-dachi stance without moving the left foot. At the same time one performs a block with the outside part of the left arm while punching with the left fist targeted towards the attacker s chin. One continues the counter attack by moving into a left zenkutsudachi towards the attacker, grabbing his collar with both hands, pulling him strongly and performing a right knee kick, hizageri chudan to the stomach. (Dodging the attack should be done by turning the body to the right into shiko-dachi together with the block/punch should be done at late as possible.) Jodan uke sanbonme (no.3) A: Junzuki jodan D: One moves away from the attacking line to the left side of the punch (as seen from the defenders view) into a tsukkomi stance without moving the left foot. At the same time one performs a left nagashizuki jodan. One immediately continues the counter attack by performing a right roundhouse kick, mawashigeri chudan; the foot is returned to the behind after the kick. (After dodging, the punch should be performed from a balanced position. While pulling back the right mawashigeri, it must protect the body by passing in front of it.) Jodan uke yonhonme (no.4) A: Junzuki jodan D: One moves away from the attacking line to down and to the left side of the punch (as seen from the defenders view) into a left kokutsu-dachi stance. At the same time one performs a left elbow block, empi uke diagonally to the up/right. One continues the counter attack immediately after blocking by moving into a left shiko-dachi and at the same time performing a left uraken chudan. One finishes the series by moving into a left zenkutsu-dachi and perfoming a right haitozuki chudan at the same time. (Dodging the attack and blocking should be performed sharply and timed together with the empi uke. The defender should especially pay attention to correct kokutsu-dachi, shiko dachi and zenkutsu-dachi stances, so that the optimal distance to the attacker remains).

20 20 Grading syllabus Joen Mawashi ry Maegeri uke 1-6 Maegeri uke ipponme (no.1) A: Hidari hanmi gamae maegeri chudan D: Hidari hanmi gamae One moves away from the attacking line to the left side of the kick (as seen from the defenders view). At the same time one performs a left teisho gedan barai block. The block is directed along the attacker s leg in a sweeping motion. One immediately continues the counter attack by performing a right gyakuzuki chudan. During the gyakuzuki, one protects himself by holding the side of the left hand (shuto!) against the attacker s right forearm. (The dodging should be empasized more that the blocking. The dodging movement should be performed by using the hips.) Maegeri uke nihonme (no.2) A: Hidari hanmi gamae maegeri chudan D: Migi hanmi gamae One steps back and moves away from the attacking line to the left side of the kick (as seen from the defenders view) and performs a left teisho gedan barai block. The block is directed along the attacker s leg in a sweeping motion. One immediately continues the counter attack by performing a right gyakuzuki chudan. During the gyakuzuki, one protects himself by holding the side of the left hand (shuto!) against the attacker s right forearm. (The dodging should be empasized more that the blocking. The dodging movement should be performed by using the hips.) Maegeri uke sanbonme (no.3) A: Hidari hanmi gamae surikomi maegeri chudan D: Hidari hanmi gamae One steps back and moves away from the attacking line to the right side of the kick (as seen from the defenders view) into a right fighting stance and performs a right teisho gedan barai block.

During the gyakuzuki, one protects himself by holding the side of the right hand (shuto!) against the attacker s left forearm. (The dodging should be empasized more that the blocking. The dodging movement should be performed by using the hips.)

21 Joen Mawashi ry Grading syllabus 21 Maegeri uke yohonme (no.4) A: Hidari hanmi gamae maegeri chudan D: Hidari hanmi gamae As the attack is coming, one slides slightly to the left and towards the kick. At the same time one stops the kick in halfway by pressing on the knee with the left arm while performing a right gyakuzuki chudan. (The idea is to perform the counter attack in such a way that the hand techniques are simultaneous and timed before the attacker s knee rises to chudan level.) Maegeri uke gohonme (no.5) A: Hidari hanmi gamae maegeri chudan D: Migi hanmi gamae One moves away from the attacking line to the left side of the kick (as seen from the defenders view). At the same time one performs a right gedan barai block. One immediately continues the counter attack by performing a left gyakuzuki chudan. During the gyakuzuki, one protects himself by holding the side of the right hand (shuto!) against the attacker s right forearm. (The dodging and blocking should be done according to the vertical axis principle while keeping a correct distance to the attacker in order to succeed in the counter attack.) Maegeri uke ropponme (no.6) A: Hidari hanmi gamae surikomi maegeri chudan D: Hidari hanmi gamae One moves away from the attacking line to the right side of the kick (as seen from the defenders view). At the same time one performs a left gedan barai block. One immediately continues the counter attack by performing a right gyakuzuki chudan.

22 22 Grading syllabus Joen Mawashi ry OHYO KUMITE (SEMI-FREE SPARRING) Ohyo Kumite is practiced to learn techniques which can be applied in free fighting. Controlling the correct distance and the defender s moving are essential in Ohyo Kumite. Since the attacking targets, directions and way of attacking are prearranged, the defender must not move before the attack starts. The defender must be ready to counter attack immediately after blocking. The aim of practicing Ohyo Kumite is to master similar techniques used even in free fighting. It is important to control the balance and weight shifting and to utilize the whole body. Other important things to consider while practicing Ohyo Kumite: - the attacking must always be performed with a battle spirit even though the outcome of the technique is known. - one must always be aware of the situation so one must keep a sharp eye on the opponent until the end (zanshin). In Ohyo Kumite techniques, from the attacker s initiative, both parties move to fighting stance straight from the attention stance. Ohyo Kumite 1-8 Ohyo Kumite ipponme (no.1) A: Hidari hanmi gamae Junzuki jodan, gyakuzuki chudan, while pulling back the gyakuzuki, the attacker must move away from the attacking line followed by a left ashibarai and right gyakuzuki chudan. D: Hidari hanmi gamae When the first attack (junzuki) is coming, the defender steps back and blocks the punch with a left shuto uchi uke directed along the attacker s arm in a sweeping motion. (During the first part of the attack, junzuki-gyakuzuki, one tries to shift the opponent s weight on to the hind leg in order to make the ashibarai-gyakuzuki part easier). Ohyo Kumite nihonme (no.2) A: Migi hanmi gamae Gyakuzuki jodan on the spot, right surikomi ashibarai and left gyakuzuki chudan. D: Hidari hanmi gamae When the first attack is coming, the defender blocks the punch on the spot with left shuto uchi uke directed along the attacker s arm in a sweeping motion. (During the first attack, one tries to shift the opponent s weight on to the hind leg in order to make the surikomi ashibarai-gyakuzuki part easier.)

23 Joen Mawashi ry Grading syllabus 23 Ohyo Kumite sanbonme (no.3) A: Hidari hanmi gamae Junzuki jodan - gyakuzuki chudan. When the defender s counter attack is coming, one slides under the tobikomizuki towards the opponent and takes him down by lifting up with the left hand from the opponent s left ham and directing with the right arm. Immediately after the takedown, one performs a right uraken jodan from a kneeling position. D: Migi hanmi gamae When the first attack is coming, the defender steps back and blocks the punch with left shuto uchi uke directed along the attacker s arm in a sweeping motion. One also blocks the other attack (gyakuzuki) with the left hand on the spot. One counter attacks with a left tobikomizuki jodan. (During the first part of the attack, junzuki-gyakuzuki, one tries to shift the opponent s weight on to the hind leg. After moving the weight, the defender must jump forward while counter attacking. The attacker must move in close to the defender during the counter attack in such a way that the takedown can be performed as close to the opponent as possible.) Ohyo Kumite yohonme (no.4) A: Migi hanmi gamae One steps forward and performs a right uraken jodan.
