I find it interesting to see how various places have their testing schedules set up, so I thought I would share ours... well at least for the upcoming exam.
It seems like a lot, but most of the techniques I actually know - its just a matter of working them with various attacks.
The 'new' techniques are really
Sumi Otoshi,
Kubi Nage, and deeper into
Koshinage
Also we have more emphasis on the ushiro techniques as you can see. [As for suwari waza... it works, not a favorite - knees get tired after awhile.]
Feel free to post your testing requirements up - it would be cool to find another schedule which is similar. [I assume by 1st Dan it all adds up to about the same thing, as everyone gets their ranks through Hombu and/or through a 'super Shihan' like Tamura Sensei, etc.]
Peace
