Yestarday I saw some pics and a copuple of videos of my second dan test, I saw them with high spectation, the video of my kyompa was very good, I analiced it and saw why the boards in the first kick (yop chagi) did not broke. The persons holding the boards didin't made it well and instead of a firm grasp and that does not allow my foot to go through the boards. The guys correct their grasp and thing solved, in the second kick I did spining back kick the grasp was ok and the break was outstanding.
My kyorugy videos were bad, very bad, I su....ed in this part, I am fat and slow, pretty slow, the 5th dan guy who spared me was smaller than me, so he was quicker than me, I had a bad time chasing it and recieved good kicks, also this guy was or too freak about me or too careful cause in the clinches he grabed and pulled my sleve and grabed with nails and fingers the hogu ( Iknow this is not allowed but I didn't wan to argue this. This guy didn't hurt me a thing he barely could move me but I was very despointed about my performance, I was to sloow period.
My poomsae was very good, my one steps sparring were outstanding ( I use a couple of moves from hapkido/aikido) my techs were very good, my kyompa very good but kyorigy was horrible.
Damn it!!!! I need to go to 200-210 lbs to gain some more movility and speed.
