I have just passed for Nidan at our club's first summer camp!
3 days of Karate with a grading on the end, all of my students passed with flying colours and my most senior student now has a brown belt which is scary.
I was assessed during the weekend so the actual grading for me was mostly Kata and Kumite, our current Nidan also passed her Sandan so we both had plenty to prove (=lots of bruises)
We did all Heian Kata and then several others, Empi, Chinte, Tekki Nidan, Hangetsu, Jion, Jitte, Jiin and Kanku Dai, I then selected Kanku Sho as my last Kata.
Now sat with a cider and aches but feel on top of the world. I feel sorry for the couple of students we have had who stopped at Shodan thinking that was all that Karate was about.
