Gonna be very busy tomorrow... I am testing for my next brown belt

[Ceicei]

This is for my 2nd degree brown belt tomorrow night. I'm nervous, but I think I know the stuff pretty well by now. I've been putting in 8-10 hours of practice per week for the past month going over everything I've studied thus far. I'm bushed.... I'm planning to go to bed soon to rest up and conserve energy.

Good Luck. Remember it's not really luck, it's the dedication and attention to detail which you've already demonstrated.

Good Luck

As my sore and aching musles and yellowing bruises can attest... it would be wholly redundant for me (your practice dummy) to wish you best of luck. You've always passed your tests the first time around so why should this one be any different?

So... how did the test go? :D

Break a leg - in the showbiz sense!

Visualize success and do your best.

Now I'm home.... and very THIRSTY!

It's a small test for adults. Just two browns (one other and me), one blue, and three oranges testing.

Oddly enough, they decided not to test the browns on weapon sets or line forms. However, I was tested on short/long forms and techniques from every belt level up through 2nd brown. They really focused on me doing the Long Form 3.

I had three black belts who took turns being the attackers. They were hard with their kicks and punches, so I had to be sure to block well (and earned some bruises along the way). I blanked on one technique (Destructive Fans). There were also a few techniques I had to adapt a bit because the attacker moved into a different zone. The biggest reaction I got from the instructors/spectators was when I threw one attacker into the wall with loud "boom" (It was a thin wall.... just drywall and boards, no insulation).

It was fun! I wish I could have done better. I passed, so now I am officially a 2nd brown....

Thank you all for the luck and encouraging thoughts.
