Believe in yourself and in your instructors' efforts in preparing you for this day...... then go out and give it everything you've got. Best wishes.

Relax as much as possible and enjoy the day - remember, you are demonstrating that you already are a black belt - not asking someone to decide if you should be one or not.

Very well put, Kacey... that's the way it should be, if the instructor has been keeping proper tabs on her/his students' progress.

Just remember that when you get to BB, you get to start over. I thought about that a lot and it actually made things easier. It's the whole yin and yang of the thing...it's meaningful and it isn't.

Remember to answer loudly, ki hap loudly, and do every technique as if it were the one that would decide whether or not you passed.

My instructor told me that it used to be that tests consisted of the master asking you to perform *one* technique, of his choosing, which would determine whether or not you were promoted. That, of course, made you practice everything. Good habit, I guess.

Good luck, and TANG SOO!

In the Marines we followed the golden rule of B.R.A.S.S. when shooting. I have applied it in competition to include belt tests.

It stands for Breath, Relax, Aim, Stop, Squeeze. To transfer this would be to breath, relax, focus your energy, pause, then prove why you are there.

I know belt tests are good at making someone a bundle of nerves. Just focus and your skill will take care of the rest man.

Next time we hear from you, we will be hearing about you passing. So for the record I am extending a congratulations to you early.

Good luck! Like everyone has said, just remember, your instructor already knows how good you are, you just have to go out there and show them one more time. This is just a one day snapshot of years worth of training and work.

Yeah!!!!!!!

Remember you have already been tested on everything that will be on your blackbelt test (each belt up until this point, you were tested on material at that level). This means you KNOW the material. ALL the rest is mental: your attitude in pulling it all together for one last endurance test.

You should have confidence in yourself. We have confidence in you. Your Instructor has confidence in you (otherwise he never would have given you the testing form). Just start, and don't stop.

No luck here go out and do what you was trained to do and it will be over before you know it, also take plenty of pictures for us and you so you can have it documented.

Hey everybody,
I am testing for my Black belt on Saturday. Does anyone have any tips? I'm super nervous!
Kamsahimnida,
Anna

Just remember, your instructor wouldn't put you up for a test if you were not ready for it. I have the 3 do's for testing. Just do these and you'll pass:

1. Do what you are told.
2. Do your best.
3. Do not give up

You have the skill otherwise you wouldn't be testing...just breath and chill out. You'll do great. I'll wish you good luck, but you don't need it. Luck has nothing to do with passing a test...skill does.

I only wish luck for those testing in that I wish for them no mishaps, injuries or illnesses to stop them from arriving at the test ready to perform to the best of their ability.
