Black Belt Promotion
Someone participating in a black belt promotion at DoshiKai faces a difficult test.

The participant needs to demonstrate strong skills in Kihon (basics), Kata, Bo techniques as well as Jiyu Kumite (free sparring), showing strong spirit during multiple consecutive matches.

Basics - Kihon

Tai-Sabaki - Body Shifting

Tai-Sabaki or body-shifting techniques are designed to move the defender out of the way of an opponent's attack without moving out of range, leaving the defender within striking distance for the counter-attack.
