I didn't just pass, I felt like I nailed it! The testing not only consisted of the specific techniques for my red belt, but also some 'optional' ones the teacher threw in. By 'optional' he basically created situations to escape (starting in a choke, starting on the ground, punch and kick defenses, starting every-which-way). While I was testing for red belt, another student was testing for his yellow belt. My final test was to teach the yellow belt his next technique to start him on his way to his next belt.
I was already sore from grappling with Mr. 6'5" 300+ pounder on Sunday night in my TKD class and hitting the floor a few times playing indoor volleyball last night (breakfalls and tumbling have come in handy there!). So I know I'm going to really be feeling it tomorrow.
Well, I felt very good about the testing and just wanted to share.
