May 6, 200521 yr Just do your kata like you mean it! If you mess up, don't stop The judges might not have seen the mistake anyways.Like one of my instructors said (after he was asked how he watches so many people during a test), "I don't have to watch everyone "exactly." YOU tell me when you mess up when you stop or grunt or say Oh Darn." LOL Laurie F
May 6, 200521 yr Just do your kata like you mean it!Agreed. Just throw as much energy as you've got into everything. And remember, it's a learning experience! Get as much out of it as you can Good luck! "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T. S. Eliot
May 8, 200521 yr Author wow......great competition. had a lot of fun and saw some great bb competition!its odd that i personally had a better kumite (1 step) than my kata comp. i thought my kata was far better than my kumite..mayeb thats because i put a lot of pressure and was quite nervous for just the kata!...hmm..oh..lots to improve opon, which i will start tomorrow!

May 8, 200521 yr Author well the grouping was between the 3 lower levels of kyu ( i think im not even a kyu, becuase i havent done any tests yet) and had 14 people aged from 15 to 24. kata was first and i didnt do as good as i thought (probably nervousness) but then in 1 step sparring i got 3rd place, and then in team kata i actually captained my heian shodon (hahaha) to 2nd palce (there was only 4 teams hehe) oh well.. i got a lot of feeback, and what surprised me was that most of it was on my front stance, and not back stance, which i though my front stnce was solidso basically it was great because this helped me figure out all the impovings i need to work on
