2nd Black Belt
Piggy backing off ATC's Name that Poomse thread, how many of you do form breakdown as a regular part of your class or testing? For us, from purple onward all self defense movements for a test are applications of movements from the students current form. For 1st and 2nd purple it's 5 movements per form, 1st and 2nd brown it's an application of every movement in their current form, and black it's testing panels choice of which form they breakdown. And no, black belts aren't given any advanced notice of what form they will be doing.
