Yellow belt coming

Manny · #1 10-01-2009, 12:44 PM

My sensei just told me about the next kup examination on october 15th, he has 4 or 5 students for the belt promotion and asked me to test for my yellow belt, I think I am ready and maybe will do it.

Any sugestion or recomendation?

Know and practice your material, no different than TKD. Just watch that your TKD isn't bleeding into your kenpo basics, depending on how those are taught. In particular stance work might be problematic. You have far more experience at this sort of thing than the other people testing at the same level.

It took me 6 years to get my yellow belt. Guess I'm a slow learner.

Hi Manny,

Just keep up the good work and practice, practice, practice...

Of course, it does not hurt if you can do your techniques, and kata "in your sleep"...

Thanks,
Milt G.
