Shotokan-kez Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Oh my god guys it's finally approaching and i'm really nervous. The 20th may is my first dan grading. I have been waiting for this for many many years and we finally have a date. As a lot of you have noticed i'm hardly on here anymore because i have lost the net at home, but please guys any advice and support on how to prepare for this most important test would greatly be appreciated, i will try my best to come on as much as i can to reply. I can't believe how excited i am. The main thing i'm worried about is the fighting part, i think i'm an ok fighter but i dont have a lot of experience fighting with adults so this is going to be a real test for me! Kez xx Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
bushido_man96 Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Best of luck to you, Kez! However, I think that you will do well, anyways! Just keep on training. Maybe add another night of training, if you are really wanting to step it up. Keep sharp on all of your material, and you should do well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

Shotokan-kez Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Yippee yay i'm over the moon! I did it guys. Yesterday i passed my shodan. It was gruelling and on a couple of accasions i thought i was actually going to pass out, but i kept going. I won my fighting section by 4 points to 1 so i was really chuffed about that. My kata's were heian sandan, heian godan, heian nidan, heian godan and bassai dai, and i passed them all with flying colours. Sensei said that the standard was amazing and he couldn't fault anyone. So i just wanted to let you all know.Kez xx Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
gzk Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Well done Kez! How's your belt look? Any fancywork or just the classic black? Battling biomechanical dyslexia since 2007
