woooohoooo

Hi everyone

I PASSED! I passed my grading for yellow belt in Shotokan Karate!

I know it's just the first level, but I worked so hard to get it, I even thought I wouldn't pass.

The next grading is in four months time, so I will now be working towards my orange belt. I was so nervous during my grading that I fluffed a few things up, which was really annoying, because I knew I could do them. The main thing I was worried about was the Kihon Kata that we had to perform, we did it to death on Tuesdays lesson and even completed it with our eyes closed, but I still managed to get a few things wrong on the day.

I'm considering taking up shotokan myself, one day.

Congrats, Nun! And good luck with the next level!

Great job, there!

Don't get too nervous about the lower belt tests, you could basically go in drunk and pass. It's the higher levels you need to be more meticulous about.

How can you fail a test in Karate? Maybe if you don't break enough 2X4's with your head?

DarkNinja · 08-24-2003, 05:38 PM

Congragulations!

You shouldn't be too worried about testings, they won't make you do anything they don't think you're capable of doing (unless you're going for the rank of shodan- I should know). So, what kyu are you considered now?

*Kid Icarus* · 08-24-2003, 06:07 PM

congrats!!!

*Mars-Chan* · 08-24-2003, 08:25 PM

EEP!!

Sorry, Nunchucker!
