The energy driven by need and readiness to become better informed is from the heart. The heart is the seat of love. With many, love for learning and exploring and mastering karate is at this level.
The karate student has more or less settled with basics and is starting to strive for greater depth into its essence. The student will learn the importance of focus, speed and technique at this kyu grade.
My life of sharing knowledge began at this grade. Without focus, speed and technique is rendered useless. Without technique, the other two are wasted. Without speed, both technique and focus are weak..
About the Orange Belt Syllabus
The Orange belt syllabus builds closely on Yellow belt syllabus content.
Students should now study and practise the Sikoashi stance component of Shio and Gohon Kumite.
The katas to learn for this grade are Taikyoku Kake Uke for Seniors, and Taikyoku Chudan for Juniors.
We encourage you to review and continue to practise all the kata you have learnt to date.
