He's in a university club. Odds are the class is small and he was just doing what everyone else was. I find kata difficult to teach to newbies. Waiting until they have solid enough basics to be in bogu or close to it is a perfectly reasonable approach and what we do.

As verissimus points out, you need to know the first three kata for ikkyu here in North Canuckistan, so you will be learning it sooner than you think.

Correct and correct. My club is roughly...8-10 people normally but for that one class it was just 3 people + 1 sensei. Remembering the stances was difficult enough I barely remembered the movements and had to constantly ask quite a bit.

But I'm enjoying Kendo, though I wish more people would join, it'd be more fun. But, I doubt a lot of people will stick with Kendo and join at the University (we just finished promoting it today).
