Hi I go to karate lesson 2 times a week and some times 3, when I've finished my lesson I went home to start home karate lesson which starts warm up strecthing and follow by basics, blocks etc then cobination and katas I do home trainning about 4 hours + every week. When the grading comes I went to my garden and practice on blocks for hundreds of times etc. Now am at 7th kyu and soon for my 6th. When I went to my lesson some or most student cannot even give a proper kick, punch their shoulder is too high their stance are not deep and strong their hands always bent, so I went and ask my Instructor how did they passed the grade? Arn't you guys agree that grading should make it much harder so when you go for your black belt in the future people won't called you a worthless black belt.
