The Ichigokai Karate syllabus can be downloaded here.

The syllabus contains an introduction to our approach to training. The Dojo Kun, Niju Kun and Dojo Etiquette introduce how to behave in the dojo and use Karate in our lives. This is followed by the techniques and kata expected for each grade. It also includes the performance expectations for each grade.
