The Enso Karate Kata Matrix
I’m always looking for new ways to help students achieve their goals. Personally, I find visual guides very helpful for getting a clear picture of information.
I have created this kata matrix as a checklist for grading kata requirements. Students can easily refer to this guide and tick off the kata they know to ensure they meet their next grading goal.
For each belt level, all circles need to be ticked off. For black stripe belts, the applications for the highest kata must also be known.
Over the next few weeks I will be using this guide during class to make note of who will be ready for grading at the end of term 3. Those who I see are ready will receive invitations to test.
There’s no rush to grade. If you don’t know your kata yet, it’s best to hold off until you are very confident with all requirements.
