twistkick kid Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 It was one of those "nobody caught my mistake until they watched the final footage from the test"I combined 2 forms, and nobody noticed anything except for the fact I was facing the wron way when it was over. My instructors always say... If you're gonna do it wrong, do it strong! My explanation that I should have posted earlier!

tallgeese Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 We've talked about the mistakes on tests, even bb tests and still passing somewhere else. It depends greatly on how much weight each system puts on each aspect of the test. Waaay back when I did kata, I botched on real good on a bb level test. Luckily, we've never weighted them much, even when we did them so it didn't throw my final results.Depends on what you value. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeZero Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Reasonable enough; the facing meant "hm, there was probably a memory glitch in there, but it was executed solidly and effectively, so that's not so big.." The only reason i'm as picky on getting patterned drills as accurately as I do is because I have people doing them in pairs in range of each other; even then, advanced students can get away with more because I expect them to react to unexpected angles.

pittbullJudoka Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 A black belt isn't... A reason to register your hands as deadly weapons at the local pd! (LOL) A bragging right it's an honor. For the average person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknownstyle Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 well it definintly isn't how well you do kata, many people have lost the true essence behind training in kata and it saddens me "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious."

TalkMartialArts Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 A Black Belt isn't...- an excuse to slow down training- telling others you're a master- the end- a absolute right to start teaching- not a excuse not to train with lower ranks- being embarrassed to get your technique corrected TalkMartial Arts The Martial Arts CommunityForums, Photo Gallery, User Blogs, ChatroomKarate, Iaido, Jujutsu, Ryukyu Kobudo, Tai Chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
