At the top of this page you will find videos, pictures and/or documents
relevant to brand new students (white belts).
That will be followed by testing requirements for each belt,
beginning with the first belt (yellow belt).
After the list of testing requirements there will be videos which are
significant to that rank. Techniques or kihon (fundamentals)
will be first and that will be followed by kata (forms) and kobudo (weapons) kata.
