- After 10 hours of training over 2 days (September 5th and 6th 2015), this video shows the final two Kata of Kirsty Brierley's 4th Dan Black Belt grading.
This inspirational mother of two has been training for 16years. She not only trains multiple times each week in the dojo, she also spends countless hours training at home.
Very, very nice. Solid, snappy, strong, great connection to the floor through her body and into the technique.
Great kata, great focus. Does the 4th Dan grading incorporate the applications of the various techniques in the kata showing how they work. Again I am very impressed how the kata was done. Kata and its applications still my favourite part of training.
Hi Scott, our Black belt gradings run over 3hours. An hour per 1) Kihon, 2) Kata and 3) combat/kumite. The combat/kumite portion is where people will demonstrate their application knowledge.
But there is no actual portion of the grading specific to Kata application.
Interestingly, this is something we are looking to add. To have a portion where they must demonstrate application for particular kata.
i want to be like this one day i have a long way to go though im only yellow but i will keep trying! :)
Good luck on your karate journey. I was lucky enough to have an amazing first sensei when I started with gkr. The best advice I was given was train like you're already wearing your next belt.
Me too and I'm packing in as many classes a week as I can. I'm loving having 6 senseis at my GKR dojo, a different one each day of the week, each with a different perspective and style, and I can pick which classes I feel like doing each week (about 8-10 or 12 classes a week), depending on how I feel and the style of each Sensei. Good luck on your path, train hard!
@@jasonfairclough7858 what fantastic advice, thank you!
@@jasonfairclough7858 Hard work is the way, and stay committed.
Very professional and disciplined. Highly inspirational.
my son wants to say: that was cool!
Well deserved. She's awesome.
What kata is that
Seisan kata
What a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Congrats well done
Spectacular!
Well done Kirsty! :)
I love Martial arts but my ocd and social anxiety scream like banshees internally when I see videos like this . Its amazing stuff but god I'd be scared.
Fortunately this is not the regular grading. Most gradings are done in large groups where no one has to perform solo. This is for a very high level dan grade.
@@GKRKarate ah yeh thats lucky then it'd be yearsss before im ever at that point .. Im going along to my nearest gkr dojo soon to have a go myself soon though because I've only ever done japanese jiu jitsu but fancy something with sparring competitions as well as katas :)
@@_year-sb6sy Thats great news. Good luck on your journey and congratulations for facing your fears and taking action on your goals
who the heck disliked this? idiot. kirsty taught my son and daughter before moving south.. We'll done kirsty x
LOOOOOOOOOL
Lovely. But can she fight?
Thats irrelevant for this video
Obviously she can.. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving e d of even the open handed moves..
Yes she can fight and very very well too!
You don't make it to 4th Dan without being able to fight lol fighting/sparring becomes part of grading from 7th Kyu and up
Impressive,as always.
great job
She did it well and she is good, but part of the form looks kind of stupid(which isn’t her fault).
people clapping when you finish your grading on acceptable
Why?
if you want to clap do a tournament not grading see it once at a grading teachers were not happy nip it very quickly
@@andrewishmael3276 Ok, so you are saying that an organisation you belonged to didn't like it, so all other organisations should follow the same ideology?
If an instructor wants to eliminate clapping at the end of a person's kata (during a grading), that is their choice. But not every club or organisation subscribes to such oppressive rules.
The organisation i With KUGB that was one of the the rules I still believe it should only be done only For competition but every organisation has it's own rules
@@andrewishmael3276 As you say, every club or organisation has their own rules. Some are less oppressive than others
👏👏👏👏
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A GRADING, unlike those shitty ones i see on youtube ;-; .......
Safwan Ahmed Has No IDEA What A Real Grading Is
Congratulations. Your katas are awesome. Greetings from Chile. Oss 🙂😉🥋👍.
I’m only a orange belt in GKR!!!!

What belt r u now? Green or Blue? Or Red?
SAME IM ALSO A ORANGE BELT
Wow! Amazing! Super huge congratulations to you. Inspirational!
Bravo!! Head bow to (well deserved) Yondan! REI!!/OSU!!
I want to be this good one day
I'm an old black junior black belt. Passed when I was 12.. Never did my adult. Trained until I was 18 then got distracted by life. Have done it a few months (8 months being my longest stretch) here and there over the last 20 years. When I graded kugb was still intact. Do I do wjs, jka, or ska? If I want to get back into it at a serious level?
Perhaps study the different style options available to you before you make a decision and look at or contact the groups in your local area (the closer the dojo, the easier it is to train, and a weekly fee is easier than a per-class fee if you wish to train many classes a week). This is GKR where I train, and has a weekly fee. I find the trainers to be fantastic. There is some controversy about gkr due to it being a newer form, but I find them very welcoming and I have the choice to train at hundreds of dojos worldwide for my weekly fee. Therefore i try to pack in 12 classes a week 😂🌞 Good luck with your karate journey; I hope you get back into it!
@@michelehemlokhexwhite4310 I've gone back recently to a local JKA karate club, but found the sensai to be frank to be awful. No discipline, the students are left to their own devices, her actual techniques lacks any power or form, but the main issue is she's got zero control or respect from her class. I'm finding a lot of the Katas are slightly different, for example Basaidai now doesn't do a hand sweep on the leg in the middle part, now it's a chudan attack. Student's don't do simple things like kneel before joining a class or bowing on entry, there is NO warm up/stretching at all in the 12 classes I've joined.
I went in as a whitebelt so as to respect the dan grades due to my time out. Idea was to start from scratch. But... the flipping purple belts in this club are only at the level (technique wize) of red belts in my old ancient club. I hope JKA is not like this accross the board, but the fact these belts got handed out makes me fear the rot is quite deep.
@@paulwatford3197 oh dear, goodness me :/ that's shame. I hope you can find somewhere you enjoy training soon! Sounds to me like you have endless respect for the club and form itself, but that this particular dojo doesn't have respect for their dojo, students, and the form itself. They don't bow in or out wtf?????!!!!! This is what I meant by telling people to go view a class first to get a feeling for the style, club and members/Senseis before making a commitment.
What area and country are you if you don't mind saying? I am with gkr karate, but I'm sure each dojo everywhere is different, and other than the general club culture, that has a huge impact on how the dojo feels, runs and teaches. Good luck!
@@michelehemlokhexwhite4310 I'm in London UK. Some of my gripes may be a evolution in how the dojos are run in the 15 years since I did it solidly. But silly things like not kneeling at the end, no words of wizdom from the sensei as you are kneeled eyes shut, I miss all that.
Instead we shut our eyes, standing, she instantly tells us to open our eyes, then she bows three times in the same direction. Where as in my old class we bowed to the sensei then the higher grades then to the rest of the class. She also bows with her darn eyes to the ground instead of maintaining eye contect.. which I was taught was a sign of disrespect as you had no fear from the people you bowed to. (I heard sensai Enoeda once kicked a guy in the face when he did that to him) None of the class turns to the right when told they could relax, to fix their gi. Etc etc.. all that lovely respectful formality is missing.. I plan to get my kata fluid and solidly remembered again, then when I move in about 6 months go in as a blackbelt and apply for my adult version of it at a nother club It's bloody insane that i'm the only one with a gi that "snaps" in a club with tons of higher grades, and the best person I found to re-teach me kata in the class was a brownbelt who also had recently moved from another part of England. The sensai is a third dan.. She looks like a purple belt.
Hi again Paul, yes, you should definitely chase up the black belt continuation! Can you find out who your senseis senseis are and go a bit higher up re the problematic lack of formality and respect signals, which are a large part of the training and ritual of karate? I think you should take it further. I definitely think a lot of the issues in some clubs are regional and not across the board.... well, I hope. I heard a few grumblings about my club in other countries, but have found the local version to be nothing less than exemplary. And yes, Katas are definitely different across the different styles of karate... that is perfectly normal and legit, but the lack of respect rituals is not! Keep at it... be the squeaky wheel that gets grease! We are back in lockdown, training on zoom again:( sigh. Cheers, Michele.
What kata was the first one? - not familiar with Goju kata. practice makes perfect. In shotokan we say what kata we are doing before we do it !
Seisan.
In gkr sometimes they do sometimes they don't, I prefer when they do say it. Shows more respect to the old ways in my opinion.
