Yellow Belt
Hi all,
Well I have been at Kenpo about 8 months now and I must say I love it. Anyway I have been a yellow belt for about five months, really more like three if I deduct time off for a knee injury. At any rate I believe my private instructor is going to test me for Orange next week and although I feel ready there are a few things in the orange curriculum he hasn't taught me. I know all of the techs but our curriculum list kicking set #1 and long form #1 and he has not taught me these yet. I believe he substituted in striking set # 1 for the kicking set because of my knee injury. So I am wondering whether or not it is common for instructors to sometimes move the curriculum around to accommodate the student? I get the feeling that knowing all the techs at the appropriate belt is crucial but that there is some flexibility as to when Forms and various other sets are taught, at least in the beginning.
Thanks
