Rachel,
My students are required to know the 10 Yellow Belt Self Defence Techniques, Form 1, and eight Freestyle Techniques. They must also demonstrate 'crisp and clean' basics.
They have no requirement for sparring at this level.
I generally expect them to reach test standard in 3 to 4 months.
Beyond the Yellow Belt Syllabus requirements, there is the Salutation, Terminology, and school formalities.
Obviously, requirements and standards vary from association to association, and often from school to school.

Rachel,
At my school, there are 10 self-defense techniques (not the same as the EPAK techniques, though some of the same principles are involved). You're also expected to be proficient at three basic blocks, three basic kicks, a couple of stances, and a couple other miscellaneous strikes. I tested at three months; I understand that's about average at my school.

10 techniques
Deflecting Hammer
Delayed Sword
Mace of Aggression
Captured Twigs
Alternating Maces
Attacking Mace
Grasp of Death
Sword of Destruction
Sword and Hammer
Checking the Storm
Short form 1, both sides
Blocking Set 1
It took me about 2 months, but that's kinda fast. I'd had kenpo experience before, but none of the yellow belt techs and already knew short 1. I had an advantage because I already knew the basics.

To stay with the norm here our class has 10 yellow techniques, short 1, blocking 1, yellow belt basics off of the basics list. Most generally speaking it is 3 months.
In our school.. EPAK using the I.K.K.O. curriculum
Yellow belt curriculum :
First 5 (we have 10 techs in yellow) Techniques
Kenpo Creed
All 7 Yellow Belt sayings
Saluation for Sets
6 stances
3 punches
5 strikes
3 kicks
2 foot maneuvers
5 blocks
Blocking set
Advanced yellow requirements
5 more Techniques
4 punches
3 strikes
2 kicks
1 foot maneuver
2 blocks
Star blocking Variations
Full Salutation for Forms
Short form 1 on both sides
Freestyle both sides
Every school will be different to a degree.. and American Kenpo will differ I'm sure from Chinese Kempo.. Hope this gives you an insight..

Those that put their technique list up did you put the techniques in order that you remembered them or are they arranged in the order they were taught as the required curriculum. (I already know run on sentence)

My order was right out of my yellow guide/manual.

The order, I agree, is odd. My understanding was the the whole idea of the Web of Knowledge starts from a grab (D. Sword), to a push (A. Maces), to a punch (Sword of Destruction), to a kick (Deflecting Hammer)...
And why does there have to be a ground technique at yellow, other than Grasp of death/Capt. twigs?
Thanks,
Robert
Incidentally, one semi-colon and two commas'll fix that there sentence in nothing flat. And who cares anyway?

As stated above the degree of difficulity was what I was talking about. I was more curious at how a punch or kick defense was first. I don't have my book in front of me now but I believe they go
grabs
pushes
punches
kicks
tackles
hugs & holds
locks & chokes
weapons
multiple of the above.
I wasn't trying to start anything nor put anybody down for re-arranging their own curriculum. I just thought it was odd that some didn't follow the same theme.

I posted them cut/paste from kenponet archive, so they ended up out of order.
not a problem.

Rae, (oh, sorry my niece is also named Rachel, and we call her Rae Rae).
Anyhow, just remember, all dojos/dojangs have a different curriculum. So, asking this question is like comparing apples to oranges. Just concentrate on your own school.
And by the way, you're going for yellow already? Excellent job, keep up the good work, and good luck!

I'm not going for yellow yet . I started 2 weeks ago or so. I'm just curious. I know the schools are all different especially american and chinese kempo. But I am enjoying it very much. My class on Thursday is off because of Thanksgiving.Bummer! And we are expecting up to 6 inches of snow tomorrow and I can only hope that karate class will not be cancelled tomorrow. To show you how much I love this, I've ordered a wavemaster powerline heavy bag for Christmas for myself so I can practice at home.If only the teacher would have more classes than 3 for adults in a week. I'd go every day if I could. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanks for your input.

That looks basically right. I too belive the curiculum is best taught in that order.

That sight has some quotes and such and lists them as:
I'll try to remember to check that tonight.
