So what does everyone do in terms of endurance (in neh)?
In my corner, red belts testing or pre-testing for cho dan have to do 30 seconds of continuous in-place punching (pal po ki?), cho dans do continuous one-leg hopping kicks, and e dans (like me) do continuous two-leg hopping kicks. Either one tires me out like you wouldn't believe, since I'm asthmatic, but I do notice that after I keep practicing it I get better and better at going longer and longer distances. I focus not so much on technique during these exercises as just keeping myself moving, keeping my lungs breathing in and out, and pushing myself to work harder.
So again, do you do similar things in class/at tests?
