I agree and don't agree with this at the same time. As everything else, pluses and minuses. Yes, it's more relaxed and student (myself included) tend to perform better because of it. But at the same time, getting a thumbs up from a panel of total strangers that know nothing about you except what they see in front of them is a real confidence booster. If I had less faith in my instructor, I don't think I'd like the single panel idea, but in comparing my school to others in the area, I've always felt we were a cut above which made this way much easier to accept.
Yes, there is always a panel of Black Belt masters from area dojangs that help oversee and review the new Black Belt candidates at the Black Belt test.terryl965 said:When you test your Bb do you have a panel of Older BB
Yes, their OPINION most definitely counts towards each candidate's final score in the Black Belt Exam.terryl965 said:and does there oppenuine count toward the exame
Ultimately the FINAL word on a passing or failing grade for a Black Belt candidate falls on our dojang's Sabumnim.terrl965 said:or is it just your finale word on who past or fails?
