Jukyu-C — Tenth Kyu
Evaluations consist of specific items from the following list. While specific arts and exercises are particular to each level, a student may also be asked to demonstrate any or all of the requirements from a prior level during their test. In this way Aikido is viewed as a cumulative process, not simply a procedure of studying for a single test.
These lists are for practice and training purposes only. Since each individual's abilities, personality, and training goals vary, each evaluation may likewise vary. It is between each student and Sensei to determine what a particular evaluation will consist of and how and when it will be conducted.
Note: All arts are to be demonstrated (if possible) both Irimi and Tenkan. All Kata are to be demonstrated (if possible) from both left and right sides.
