sensei8 Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Ask your instructor!!!!!!! I could give you a very general list of yellow belt requirements, but, I could be either way off or dead on or kind of close. Practice what it is that you've been taught thus far and practice it endlessly. My Dai-Soke never told/gave us the syllabus in any shape, way, and/or form. His way was that when he decided to invite you to a testing cycle; you had better know it; whatever the it was asked of you. Are we suppose to only learn and then prepare for what's on the next test? **Proof is on the floor!!!
Karatequeen Posted March 14, 2010 Author Posted March 14, 2010 Keyhorns?Keyhorns are really easy,most involve just 3 kicks.One of them involves a front kick,arching kick and round house.Thankyou everyone for all the replies,I'm looking forward to the grading now!

Karatequeen Posted March 14, 2010 Author Posted March 14, 2010 There are some Filipino martial arts guys with a defined set of biting techniques for grappling work. Deliberate distinctions between nips, chomps, bite-and-shakes, and the like. Really? Thats a bit weird! Owner of 3 dogs,2 mice,and 2 rabbits.Soon to be owner of chickens
ps1 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Oh ok thanks. I know the white belt kata very well.I practice it everyday,as well as the keyhorns and sparing techniques.It's a lot of fun.Thankyou for all that.So hopefully I don't need to do any speeches?Yay! Keyhorns?Pretty sure he's referring to Kihon. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
Karatequeen Posted March 14, 2010 Author Posted March 14, 2010 Pretty sure he's referring to Kihon.Oh ok,sorry,Kihon...I'm a she by the way,not a he Thanks for correcting my spelling! Owner of 3 dogs,2 mice,and 2 rabbits.Soon to be owner of chickens
Blade96 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Thankyou everyone for all the replies,I'm looking forward to the grading now! Thats good. Go out there and Knock em dead. (Ok not literally. But you know what I mean.) Show em what you've got.And did I mention, have fun? =] Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.

KarateGeorge Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Best of luck! I wouldn't worry about it too much. Testing for yellow belt is a basic proficiency test really. Most schools aren't going to be overly tough on someone testing for yellow belt. Just make sure you know your techniques, katas, etc. and do your best!We joke at my school that the two hardest tests one takes in martial arts are the yellow belt test and the black belt test. The yellow belt because you have no idea what to expect. The black belt because you know EXACTLY what to expect.
