srv Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You probably should have done your fitness and endurance work for your grading already. When we lead up to a grading we're builing up fitness over at least a couple of months. Over the last 2 weeks we usually pull back with our fitness work and as Jiffy said, just polish things up. I'm not sure if there's anything you can do in 2 weeks to really build up your fitness. I would however make sure you can do the 8 rounds of sparring in advance. Just be careful - the last thing you need is an injury 2 weeks before a grading. Good luck, hope it goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatechick Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks for all your tips guys. I started doing endurance training months ago but i think im extra nervous about this grading as we have one of the best martial artists (from my style)in our country coming to observe our grading.

It's natural to be nervous; just do the best you can, and he will see it. Remember, though, the only person you have anything to prove to is yourself. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say pretend he isn't there, since that'd be hard, but just remember, if you have the skills, you should get the rank. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Not a bad saying Syphax. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohan Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Try to spar with different partners of different abilities, heights, and weights. Also, try to do reaction exercises over the next two weeks to keep your reflexes sharp. I enjoy chasing a superball in an enclosed room like a racquetball court (yes, my wife thinks I'm kookoo for this, but I like it).Good luck!With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
