Dan Grade Levels (International Program)

I-Level Belts

 


The core curriculum for I.K.G.A. Gōjū-Ryū - 剛柔流 is standardized, but teaching methods and training schedules vary.


A student may join classes at any level of skill or physical proficiency. New students will be taught basics (Kihon - 基本) and will be encouraged to observe and follow the senior students. To prevent injuries and to build on a strong foundation of skills, more advanced training progresses as the student gains confidence, strength, flexibility, and stamina.


All classes begin with a brief Reihō - 礼法 (Bowing Ceremony), Junbi Undō - 準備運動 (warm-ups), Hojo undō - 補助運動 (physical conditioning, and stretching.)


Classes usually include: 1) Kihon - 基本 (basics) such as basic stances, punches, kicks, and blocks; 2) Yakusoku kumite - 約束組手 (set sparring combinations); 3) Kata - or pre-defined sequences of movements; 4) Jiyū kumite - 自由組手, or free-sparring; 5) Shiai kumite - 試合組手, or point sparring.


For free sparring practice (Jiyū kumite - 自由組手), participants wear padded fist protectors, mouth guards, groin cups for men, and chest protectors for women. All sparring is non-contact or "touch" or controlled contact. Beginners may not participate in kumite until they learn basic stances, blocks, and strikes.
