(specifying which one kata you wish to redo) to the tachiai,
who will pass on your request to the examiners.
The examination board shall not request any repeats.
- if you do not pass the kata portion of the exam, you may retake
the kata test once. This must be done within a 12-month period

specify on your dojo's application form that you are taking only
the kata portion of the test.
