zuluking Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all who gave me moral support when I failed my Brown Belt test last month. I re-tested today and passed! I'm going to bed now.....I'm VERY sore! Thank you again.
Luckykboxer Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Congratulations! I have always admired the will and determination of those students that have failed a test and have been able to humble themselves, accept it, rebound, and come back to be successful! That is a great asset and one that I am sure will serve you for years to come! I have unfortunately had to fail students at tests, and from my experience the large majority of those failures has not been from lack of the curriculum knowledge, but rather the mindset of being afraid, distracted, tired, or hurt. As much of the test is about the mind as the body. Once again Congratulations!
