Dan Grade Rotation
We currently run a 3-week rotation training programme covering Kihon, Kata and Kumite to ensure each element is taught equally and allows members to attend more specific sessions. As the Dan grading dates differ from the Kyu grading dates, we have introduced a separate rotation programme for the Dan grade only classes held at the Dojo Norwich. This includes Kata weeks focused on the advanced Shotokan Kata. All other all-grade classes not held at the Dojo Norwich will continue to run in line with the Kyu grade rotation.
