greenbelt_girl15 Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Yikes!I completed the first half of my brown stripe test last week, thursday is going to be the second half, and I'm really nervous!I think that it will consist of free sparing, kata, and philosophy.The philosophy is realy hard, 27 sets of different concepts that I have to have memorized.For example: 5 firsts for friendship communicate smile care share forgive 5 sources of power mind body spirit soul kiI guess they start adding up Well wish me luck! God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, a spirit of power, and of self-discipline.2 Timothy 1:7

aefibird Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Good luck! I'm sure you will be fine. Are all your testings done in two parts or is it just this one? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
greenbelt_girl15 Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 Not all of them.Up untill green belt the tests lasted about 1 1/2 hours. It looks like from now on the tests are going to be longer. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, a spirit of power, and of self-discipline.2 Timothy 1:7
greenbelt_girl15 Posted May 19, 2006 Author Posted May 19, 2006 Just my luck! I've got the flu, so I'm missing my test at the moment God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, a spirit of power, and of self-discipline.2 Timothy 1:7

Spirit At Choice Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Too bad about the flu! I just am getting over something of the kind. Regarding the philosophy... I guess this is a little late... but what I did was make a tape recording of all of that with some nice music in the background, and I just listen to it over, and over, and over, and over. You can do it in the car, at work, at home, wherever.It *is* a lot. I'm not waiting until green belt to get it in my noggin!I am testing for 2d green stipe on Monday... My kid is testing for 1st purple on Tuesday... then I leave for Training Camp that night. Woo hoo! White belt mind. Black belt heart....Rejoice and be glad!
