shorinryu912 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I wish I could tell you folks what is on the shodan test for our school. I am only a 4th kyu, we are allowed to sit in and watch green and brown belt tests (brown will be coming for me very soon), but sub-shodan level students are forbidden to watch a shodan test in our school, and the instructors will not tell us what is on it, which has me scared sick. We're supposed to be prepared for anything... so maybe I'll just bring a gun to the dojo.
