I am practicing for my 6th kyu test right now. I am in an ASU school (Aikido Schools of Ueshiba).

On my 6th kyu test I have to perform:

1. Shomenuchi ikkyo (both omote and ura)

2. Munetsuki kotegaeshi (omote and ura)

3. Katatedori shihonage (omote and ura)

4. Yokomenuchi shihonage (omote and ura)

5. Shomenuchi iriminage (omote and ura)

6. Kokyuho Tanden Ho

7. Bokken techniques (kumitachi #1 - #5, )
James, good luck with your testing, I too train in an ASU dojo. I find it odd that you have to perform the Bokken techniques since they're not listed in the ASU handbook as a requirement until Shodan. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good to get started early and the weapons work really magnifies distancing, timing etc. Anyhow, good luck.
