Our students will find the following instructional videos useful when learning their grading kata.

Please note these videos are useful for learning the floor pattern and basic moves for each kata but as they have not been produced or endorsed by our examining body (KUGB) students are advised to pay careful attention to their Sensei in class to learn the fine detail of each kata as there might be slight variations to the below, particularly with the more advanced kata.

With the exception of kihon kata the videos below have been reproduced with the kind permission of
www.shotokansensei.com and are to be utilised entirely at the users' own risk. We cannot accept liability for any resulting loss or injury. 
Make sure you warm up first before practice.
