lance Regular 26 posts	Sunday 13th June 2004 at 15:02 I've been practising jujitsu for 3 months now. My clubs' grading is in 3 weeks. I've covered all the things in my syllabus. However, I've only been taken thru' my kata (which will be part of my grading) once. I'm told that the kata (novice blocking kata - all downward blocks) will be the final part of my grading. My instructor doesn't have a diagram showing the steps of this kata. Nor can I find anything on the net that shows the steps. Anyone know where I can get such a diagram ? I'm keen to grade but don't want to balls it up by not knowing this kata Thanx

If he/she is decent this will be okay and they will show you, if not then I dont think you will ever learn anything properly at their club.

Stick with him, learn what you can and give him respect for teaching you, but always keep an open mind as to what you are being taught and as you gain experience (6-12 months) look elsewhere also, as to what is on offer. You may decide you are content with what you are doing and stick with it, or you may wish to compliment it or even replace it with something else. MA is a very wide spectrum with many paths...choose your own and it could be very fulfilling.
