Sounds like you have it handled. Remember your teacher wouldn't have told you that you could test if he didn't already know that you could do all this.
So this is just a fun demonstration. Enjoy it! TW

Best of luck to you Knifehand!! :asian:

Please let us know how everything went!!!

Good luck. My first test in Kempo lasted 6 hours and 20 minutes. Hope yours is shorter!

[Gin-Gin]

Good Luck, Knifehand! I'm sure you'll do well. Some free advice (which you can take with a grain of salt): if haven't already, do a quick run through of the stuff & then just rest & listen to your favorite kind of music that relaxes you for at least an hour or two before test time.

Let us know how it goes! :)

Best of luck! Remember to breathe. Let us know how it goes.

Good Luck, and have fun!

That's the best advise you can give someone who is up for a test. But unfortunately you usually still end up nervous as hell. :) But part of the MA is learning to handle the pressure.

I am not an Orange Belt until i recieve my belt from my instructor. Which is in 2-3 weeks. It takes that long because i have to be recognized by the ITF.

[Dronak]

Congratulations on the good performance during the exam. :) As others mentioned, I don't think your teacher would let you test unless he/she was confident that you could pass, so I'm sure you did. It's too bad you have to wait so long to get the official results, but what can you do? Keep up the good work. :)
