Those judoka holding an attendance certificate from a previously completed British Judo course in Koshiki-no-kata or Kime-no-kata will have the opportunity to be continuously assessed for a BJA Level 1 certificate in that particular kata. Higher level certificates will be subject to examination. Only holders of Level 1 may be examined for Level 2, and only holders of Level 2 may be examined for Level 3. Only Tori will qualify for a certificate. The Kata examinations and assessments will be free of charge, however for successful candidates there will be a charge of £10 to cover the cost of issuing a Kata Certificate
This 2-day kata course will cover all aspects of Koshiki-no-kata on the Saturday, and all aspects of Kime-no-kata on the Sunday. Participants will be tutored in these kata by Yoshihiko Iura-sensei, Kodokan 8th Dan – an internationally recognised kata expert.
An attendance certificate from either day’s course satisfies the requirements for Section 9 of the BJA Technical Dan Grade syllabus.
Those judoka not wishing to take any examinations/assessments are still very welcome to attend the course.
Please wear a White Judogi only – strictly no other colour or reversible judogi to be worn. Participants holding a grade of 6th Dan or above are requested to wear a black belt
