my name is Claire and i'm 31 years old and this Sunday i will be doing my testing to become (hopefully!!) a cho dan bo, i've been a practitioner of Tang Soio Do with the EMTF for 3 years now and i love it!
i've competed in both European and British competitions, i live in the North East of Scotland and i love doing martial arts.
looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing experiences and tips:)

Welcome Claire,

Part of my heritage is Scottish and I look forward to visiting some day.

Stay focused on your test, I'm sure you'll do well. I'm somewhat unfamiliar with CMA ranking systems. Is a cho dan bo equivalent to a black belt in JMA?

Well, happy posting.

Regards,
Ins
 
Hi Claire

Welcome through the doors of MT, I think you'll like it here (much less trouble, strife and general troll-dom than you'll find almost everywhere else).

Best of British to you on your testing. Don't let the nerves get you - the best advice I every received with regards to testing in the martial arts was "Treat it like it's training; it's not about pass or fail, it's about persistence and commitment".

Welcome, Claire. As you can see already, you'll never go wrong listening to Sukerkin. Lots of good people here.
 
thank you all for your kind replies,
cho dan bo is black belt candidate, means i have about 6 - 9 months further training until i can grade for my black belt,
and thank you surekin, i will treat it like training!!
i have a recurring hip injury that prevents me from being as flexible as i would like to be but i will do my very best!
