What was the grading like?

Grading went well in that I only had to do the kumite. I was happy that the man I partnered also passed his shodan, as I landed a hard yoko-geri to his ribs during the freestyle element.

 

A good result after a long, long day.

 

There were about 60 people grading in total, so you can imagine how long it went for when it was 6 to 8 people at a time!

 

Just two years until Nidan...

Wow, that's certainly a lot grading!

 

I'm glad it went well for you.

 

Did your knee hold up alright?

Yeah the knee is 100% now. It was nice to return to training on Monday and Tuesday and do Nijushiho and the Unsu - yes, very advanced kata but a nice change from Bassai Dai!!!

Congratulations! What proportion of the candidates passed this time? I'm hopefully taking my KUGB shodan later this year. My sensei wants me to go to Kendal in June but I want to put it off till later in the year, perhaps at the summer school.

It's very cool. We're happy for you.

 

You've been rewarded for your hard work and instead of just staying and enjoying your success you'll have to work even harder. But that's all the fun in training. :karate:
