So, how'd it go?

 

[stone_dragone]

I was wondering the same myself...

 

[Greg King]

Sorry it took a couple of days to post ....we have been working very hard with my son prepping him for 1st dan test on 05-05-07.The test went great, i am now a 5th Kup along with my wife. I did blank out on my shoulder grabs ...i could only remember two.They did the test a little different this time...they turned us around facing south in the dojang rather than facing east and a couple of people lost track of where they were with forms as far as direction goes... kind of interesting i thought

 

[Shaderon]

Well done Greg! Good luck to your son in his 1st Dan test!

He'll be fine. Always good to feel prepared, tho'.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! artyon:

Funny how facing different directions, having to avoid others punches as you all do a form facing the middle of a circle, and such other change ups can really make us think. But later we often realize how much we learned from it, and see things from new perspectives. Anyway, way to go!

Funny how they do that sometimes My very first test, I skipped a belt and I'm convinced that part of it was because I was able to make sure I didn't get lost when the BB running the test threw a few new things into the mix. In my case it was doing basic motion stepping backwards... Blew my mind as a white belt!

When you practice your forms, try facing in different directions including corners of the room, so you disassociate which wall you are facing from the form.

Good luck on the next gup test!
