Good luck with your test. And keep the resposes coming. Some of you have a tuff time :lol: But your building character.

Thanks. There's a thread that niel0092 started about the test in the Korean arts form where I'll post details ... oops speaking of which, I need to go to sleep (need my beauty sleep for the test hehehehe).

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. :lol:
