Shorinryu Sensei Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Congratulations! Yes, as amatter of fact, I tested on of my students, a 15 yr old young man, just this past Thursday for his yellow belt. This is what I test on: Proper Stance's inside block outside block high block low block hand block front snap kick roundhouse kick side kick back kick shin kick stomp kick reverse punch back fist Kata Pinan Shodan Light Contact Sparring He did VERY well, but then again, his father is my 2nd Dan Senior student too! lol I never look for perfection, especially at this level, but rather competency. The same with power. At this level, I look for good technique, not power. Power will come. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once.

angelica d Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Well done ! I've got my orange belt (8th kyu) grading next Sunday and am quite nervous, but quite excited too . We have to do heian shodan and nidan, lots of basic techniques and simple two part combinations, and gohan kumite. There's about five of us taking the grading at that level, and we're all good friends so it shouldn't be too scary I hope!
