It is essentially a physical test by a BTKA Grading Examiner to ensure that the student can competently perform the techniques in the syllabus for that belt. It must be remembered that the belt a karate‑ka wears indicates his current level. A karate‑ka can be down‑graded if he fails to maintain the standard required of his grade.
What is the syllabus?
The BTKA has a syllabus setting out the techniques that a student must be able to perform competently to be entitled to wear the belt of each grade. A copy of the syllabus is available from club instructors.
