Hello all, I just wanted to give you some advice(if you don't mind)about how to make an impression on your grading. 1) Do not be intimidated by your examiners attitude towards you.This is a test of psycological weakness and strength. 2) If you make a tiny slip up in your kata or something make sure that you don't notice.If you don't notice you are less likely to be bothered about it and become more nervous.It's the last thing you need to be nervous on a grading. 3) Don't be nervous.If you are nervous you are jmpy and could make moves out of place.instead relax your whole body and take a few deep breaths before starting. 4) Make sure that you know your syllabus a couple of weeks in advance to be able to brush up on weak points and also to know what's coming If anyone would like to make any additions to that please feel free to post. Thanx Cya

You make a great point karateronin. I totally agree with you and anyone else with the same idea. Never let your opponent get the best of your mind,or else there is no hope for you.

Well said, scrap sensei hakita. Sensei Funakoshi rules!

Thankyou Warlock for your reply and a big thanx to Karateronin for everything. I don't really have much expierience on BB's but I am feeling right at home here with the karate forums crew Cya

I agree, I favour the layout of this forum to others I am on.Well done graphic and layout designers.

I totally agree

Thanx Tobias but my dad goes out n a saturday and I can't make it unfortunatley. I will consider it for the future, i.e-after I get my black belt.

Good insight Patrick.Thanks for the info IAMRUSHMAN.

Hey again, My past threads were a bit dry but I intend to change with this one.I would like to hear from anyone about how much they like their karate club and why. I love my karate club to bits.It is the best I have been to and I would not consider leaving it again for anything.I like it so much because the instructors make you feel right at home and talk to you as if you are equal to them, regardles of the grade. Happy Posting. [Edited by Admin: No images allowed in signature, please take the image out via your Edit Profile page. Thank you.] This Message was edited by: Patrick on Aug 11, 2001 9:13am

I believe so. in some cases. It depends on their extent of training.

There is a shop close by that sell throwing knives but they are expensive. They are £13. But they are good for when you are bored. Is a knife an actual weapon used in martial arts? _________________ esteem thy precious time in training for the unexpected! This Message was edited by: moobrack on Aug 11, 2001 2:44am
