The goal of your 5th Kyu test is to demonstrate understanding of some very basic terminology of Aikido, in addition to being able to demonstrate the techniques.<\/p>\n

Your goal should be that when Sensei calls out a technique, for instance “Shomenuchi Iriminage”, you should be able to go into that technique smoothly and without much hesitation.<\/p>\n

Many students initially find the terminology difficult to master, since it is Japanese language terminology.<\/p>\n

This page is intended to help you through this, and demonstrate that the terms for your 5th Kyu exam are, in fact, quite simple.<\/p>\n

In order to learn the terminology for this test,\u00a0 it might help to just break down the techniques you need to know, and first commit to memory the “attack” part — in other words – the attack you are responding to.\u00a0 I have bolded<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0them below, to show you that really there are not that many terms you need to know… not overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
