Leeds in Yorkshire, England and it's cold and sooo bloody windy !!

Probably July /Aug, it's a difficult kata to learn!

In my shotokan karate we use kyu system :- White White with one tag White with two tags Yellow Green Purple Purple with a stripe Brown Brown with 1 stripe Brown with 2 stripe black 1st Dan, 2nd Dan etc etc

It varies for me I burn more when doing kumite ( sparring) I know this because I can feel the sweat dripping down my back!! I burn more doing kata than basics, I've not managed to track my calorie burn as I can't wear my polar due to it catching when sparring but average in 90 mins( I weigh 120 lb ) would be about 500-600…

I'm so glad I found this group! I have trained in shotokan karate for about 5 years. I'm a 2nd kyu ( brown belt with a white stripe), karate is a massive part of my life as my 5 year old son trains in Go Ju Ryu also, so there's lots of tournaments and gradings between us!!!

Happy New year to you all, my goal this year is to take my 1st kyu grading in shotokan karate and pass!! :#

I'm currently working on my new kata and syllabus for my 1st kyu grading, in shotokan karate, I've not added pics because I'm too lazy! ;)

I'm from the UK! I train in shotokan karate B)
