Osu nzproud,
In Kyokushinkaikan IKO1 the standard is universal, i.e., all member Dojos (worldwide) must observe and follow the guidelines imposed by Honbu Japan - Kancho Matsui.
In our case, Sensei requires the members to do a little more in Kata in order to maintain the quality of our Karate. Our promotion to Black Belt requires 20-man Kumite, not the usual 10 fights. Reason could be the volume of practitioners in the Philippines is not many. Honbu has at least 15 active members (senior belts & blackbelts) thus providing limited fight and training experience/exposure. There is also the objective of our sensei to train and develope strong fighters like the Japanese and Russian Fighters. We must keep a step ahead of the rest to keep up with International fighting standards.
I will try to recover our Manual on the promotion standards imposed by Kyokushihkaikan IKO1 and upload it in this thread.
BTW, the placement I made is very crude it is just to give an overview of where a belt would cover not necessarily all the Katas in the group. (Ex. White to Orange Belt: 3-Taikyokus and 3-Sokugis; Orange Belt to Stripe: All Katas of White to Orange with Pinan Sono Ichi and Pinan Sono Ni)...
Osu.
