At my original dojo in the Goju Ryu style, Kihon was saved until the Orange Belt level. Rankings at my original dojo went from White to Orange to Yellow, etc. As a White Belt, we learned Taikyoku Jodan and Taikyoku Chodan katas. As an Orange Belt, you learn Kihon.
Kata is often the most difficult part of the grading process for beginners. Kihon Kata is the first kata white belts must learn. Here it is demonstrated slowly to aid learning.
