The Belts page is simply a list of all the belts in Shotokan (in the correct order) and some information about gradings.
The Grading Syllabus pages detail what you need to know to pass your next grading.
Whilst the Kata page is helpful, please DO NOT rely on the accuracy of these video clips. They are included to serve as a reminder. Your primary training source when learning a kata should be the lesson.
The fact that all the techniques in Shotokan are normally referred to in Japanese can be a bit baffling at first. We've listed some of the most common terms here. This is not an exhaustive list but you'll soon know your Yoko Geri Keage from your Sanbon Tsuki.
Lastly, we've included links to a few other websites you may find useful.
