Dragn Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Congratulations!Sounds like a tough test.For my Nidan we had to do 30 x 2 minute rounds of sparring. Was very tough. We didn't have to beat a certain number of opponents though. It's more about mental toughness - keeping going through exhaustion.30 rounds! Man thats hard.I think tests that push your limits of mental toughness and test your spirit are a very important aspect of full contact training.When I got my first dan in TKD, it was more about technical ability.I never really got tested on my fighting spirit and ability to withstand punishment and still keep going.I wasnt aware of my inner weaknesses. So although my technique was sharp, I didnt really have a fighters heart.
