Wado Ryu Karate Student

Please don't laugh at me but I'm going to say that I did like Karate Kid (The original version.)

Thank you very much for the replies. I have been feeling very down about this. I am just annoyed at myself for being very behind. There are a couple of students who graded yellow belts with me and they can do roundhouse, both the kata's and the partner work. This is why I feel so bad. I will take what you have said on board....Thank you.

Hello, my real name is Lisa I'm 41 years young and I am Wado Ryu Karate student. I joined Karate in the middle of July 2014 and I had my first grading at the beginning of December 2014. I am now a yellow belt and I have already found that I am in big trouble. I need to learn the roundhouse kick, two kata's Pinan Needan and Pinan Shodan. And I need to do partner work. My main problem is that I cannot do Roundhouse technique. My balance is rubbish. I am also struggling with the stances in Pinan Needan and I cannot get the hang of partner work either. So here's my problem I think I was graded too soon. Now I am not sure if this is allowed so I need your advice. Am I allowed to ask if I can be degraded? Please can anyone help?
