I'm going for the 6th kyu, too... Aikikai.

It really seems any dojo is somewhat different

This is what is needed:

- Shomenuchi ikkyo (O/U & Suwari Waza)

- Shomenuchi nikkyo (O/U & Suwari Waza)

- Shomenuchi sankyo (O/U)

- Shomenuchi Iriminage (O/U)

- shomenuchi/yokomenuchi Kotegaeshi

- munetsuki Kotegaeshi

- Many variant of Shihonage (can't remember them all yet )

- ...and others I still can't remember the name and have yet to do, where uke grabs with 2 arms one arm of the nage, and one where you tankan and then "cut" uke arm to make him fall, for example.

Anyway, my sensei testing philosophy seems to be "I'll test you seriously for the 6th when you're ready for the 5th, for the 5th when you'll be ready for the 4th, and so on" so I'm probably (unknowingly) performing 5th kyu tecniques

Bye!
