back kick

stomp kick

 

reverse punch

 

back fist

 

Kata Pinan Shodan

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.

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!
