1 BUSHI Testing Procedures and Requirements The following pages contain the testing requirements for all BUSHI students for ranks up to and including Nidan (2 nd degree black belt). These descriptions are minimum requirements, and as such we expect our students to exceed what is written when they test for rank. BUSHI has always been more strict than other dojos with our requirements and as such our students progress through the ranks slower than students at other schools. This can be frustrating at times, however when a BUSHI student compares his/her abilities with those of other students from other schools they understand why we ask so much. A BUSHI student is better educated than other students, and as such more ready to face the challenges that lie ahead in life. Our standards may be high, but they are designed to make our students the best that they can be. It is important to note that while we try to give objective requirements, some things in the martial arts cannot be measured. Karate is an art, and as such much of it is subjective. Elements like fluidity and intensity cannot be put into terms that we can list among the requirements. These elements will be explained to students in the training environment so that they can better understand and utilize them. We have often been forced to tell students that while their movements are correct, they are not quite ready to test for their next rank. This subjectivity can be a source of frustration for students, but we do it with the intention of helping them reach their full potential. The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the characters of its participants Master Gichin Funakoshi (Founder of Shotokan Karate)
2 Testing Procedures When a date for belt examination/testing is announced a sign up sheet will be made available weeks prior to the testing date. Signing up for testing is merely an expression of desire to test, not a confirmation. Prior to the testing date the sign up sheet will close, and no further entries will be accepted. Prior to the testing, the testing list will be displayed with all approved students listed. In order to advance in rank a BUSHI student must display his/her skills in front of a board of judges consisting of BUSHI instructors and yudansha (black belts). Advanced belts who are not yet black belts are occasionally allowed to sit with the judges for the purpose of educating themselves on testing requirements. The senior instructors will ask the testing students to display their skills in a manner similar to that of a regular class environment. The test will include a section for: Kihon (basic technique), Kata, Self Defense, and Kumite (6kyu and up) When testing for a new rank there are three possible outcomes: 1. Pass The student meets all requirements to the satisfaction of the judges and receives his/her new rank immediately day probation The student does not satisfactorily meet all of the requirements to advance in rank, however a new test is not deemed necessary. The student then has 30 days to prove to the senior instructors that he/she deserves the new rank, at which time he/she will be promoted. If at the end of 30 days the student has not met the necessary requirements, he/she may test again at the next belt examination at no additional cost. 3. Fail The student fails to meet the necessary requirements for advancement, and it is determined by the senior instructors that a new test is warranted. The student may then re test at the next belt examination at no additional cost.
3 8 kyu (yellow belt) Requirements Physical Requirements Kihon: A yellow belt is expected to demonstrate proficiency in the basic techniques used in our every day classes. Emphasis will be placed on execution of the movements with proper form and attention to the fundamentals. The techniques to be tested include: Stances: Front Stance, Side Stance, Back Stance Blocks: Rising Block, Down Block, Inside Middle Block, Outside Middle Block, Knife Hand Block. Strikes/Punches: Front Punch, Reverse Punch, Backfist Strike Kicks: Front Kick, Round Kick, Side Thrust Kick, Side Snap Kick Kata: A yellow belt is expected to perform Heian Shodan with proper technique, timing, and intensity. One Step: A yellow belt is expected to perform 10 moves of one step with proper form, distance, and application of technique.
4 7 kyu (green stripe) Requirements Kihon: A green stripe is expected to have continued improvement in the basic techniques tested previously. In addition, he/she is expected to have gained proficiency in block and counter combinations, and kickand punch combinations. New techniques to be tested include: back kick, hammer fist strike, and spear hand strike. Kata: A green stripe is expected to perform with proper technique, timing, and intensity: One Step: A green stripe is expected to perform 20 moves of one step with proper form, distance, and application of technique. More advanced movements such as angles, kicks, and combinations are expected during demonstration of one step by a person testing for this rank.
5 6 kyu (green belt) Requirements Kihon: A green belt is expected to have continued improvement in the basic techniques tested previously. In addition, power and intensity are imperative in the application of technique. It is not enough for a green belt to perform a move correctly; techniques must be done in such a way that they would be effective in real life application. Kata: A green belt is expected to perform with proper technique, timing, and intensity: Heian Sandan Self Defense: A green belt is expected to perform 30 moves of one step with proper form, distance, and application of technique. More advanced movements such as joint locks and take downs are expected during demonstration of one step by a person testing for this rank. In addition, a basic understanding of club attack and grabs defense is expected of an aspiring green belt. Spirit: A green belt is expected to have the spirit of a BUSHI Warrior. A BUSHI green belt is someone who we can point to as an example of what new students should aspire to be in and outside the dojo. This is the first major milestone on the journey toward the BUSHI Black Belt. Kumite: A green belt will be asked to demonstrate some proficiency in kumite. While a mastery of kumite concepts and techniques is not expected of green belt, an understanding of distance and timing is required.
6 5 kyu (1 st brown stripe) Requirements Kihon: A 5kyu is expected to have continued improvement in the techniques and concepts tested previously. Kata: A green belt is expected to perform with proper technique, timing, and intensity: Heian Sandan Heian Yondan Self Defense: A 5kyu is expected to perform one step with proper form, distance, and application of technique. More advanced movements such as joint locks and take downs are expected during demonstration of one step by a person testing for this rank. In addition, a basic understanding of club attack and grabs defense is expected of an aspiring 5kyu. Spirit: The progression of the spirit displayed at 6kyu is required for someone testing for 5kyu. In addition, we expect students at this level to begin teaching students of lower rank during available class times. Kumite: Continued development of kumite techniques and concepts is expected of someone testing for 5kyu.
7 4 kyu (2 nd brown stripe) Requirements Kihon: A 4kyu is expected to have continued improvement in the techniques and concepts tested previously. Kata: A 4kyu is expected to perform with proper technique, timing, and intensity: Heain Sandan Heian Yondan Heian Godan Self Defense: A 4kyu is expected to perform one step with proper form, distance, and application of technique. More advanced movements such as joint locks and take downs are expected during demonstration of one step by a person testing for this rank.

In addition, advanced concepts such as spinning, jump kicking, and multi directional movement will be tested. Kata: A brown belt is expected to perform with proper technique, timing, and intensity: Heian Yondan Heian Godan Heain Sandan Tekki Shodan Self Defense: A brown belt is expected to perform one step with proper form, distance, and application of technique. More advanced movements such as joint locks and take downs are expected during demonstration of one step by a person testing for this rank. In addition, a fluid, confident demonstration of club & knife attack and grabs defense is expected of an aspiring brown belt. Spirit: The continued progression of the spirit displayed at earlier tests is required of someone testing for brown belt. A BUSHI brown belt is someone who we can point to as an example of what intermediate students should aspire to be in and outside the dojo. This is the first real step in becoming an upper rank / senpai on the journey toward the BUSHI Black Belt. Kumite: Continued development of kumite techniques and concepts is expected of someone testing for brown belt. Teaching: A brown belt is someone who can be trusted to teach other students in a more formal setting. A brown belt may be asked to teach lower belts a new kata, or to help with/teach the beginner class. It is through this teaching that one develops a much deeper level of understanding and it is a part of the process of upper belts giving back.
