Thanks and thank you for the advice. Yeah, that was one of the many things I was frustrated about upon reviewing the test. There were two guys who did the club techniques before me, and the attackers were coming so fast, they didn't have a chance to pick up the club. I didn't even bother cause in the past I've been known to attack an attacker with the club in my hand if they came at me before I was set. I knew I was being graded on the techniques, so I didn't want to risk another "mix up". :0)
