Help with how to setup property list correctly

Question

I am developing an iPhone application and I need a database to store data.
Since it's small amount of data I'll go for Property List.
But I have zero experience with it. I was hoping you could help me set it up.
It's an app based on karate techniques required for each belt.
Firstly I need the top category to be the belt. and a subcategory for EACH belt to be Requirements, Stances, Blocks, Hand Techniques, Foot Techniques, Kata and Kumite.
How do I do that?

Use Xcode to copy/paste more belts. Rename belts as needed.
This is only the plist structure for drilling down and does not include details for each category beyond the items shown.
You can't be doing any of this if you have zero experience - you'll have questions for every tiny step and unless someone builds your app for you, you'll go ahead very, very slowly.
It is up to anyone with zero experience to spend time going thru the most basic hello world tutorials, as an example, and learn enough to be able to gain some traction on their own...this is not trivial stuff that you can just install a few tools and make what you want the next day, sorry.

- come back when you've exhausted those and need specific help untangling something or if you get confused as you progress on your own...not just in over your head at the very beginning.
