GeoGiant Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 Thanks everyone! I'm feeling good about testing. I know what i am supposed to do... now i must execute. The only thing i am slight nervous for, mainly because i don't get a chance to practice this, is sparring 2 people at once.
Nevinyrral Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Try using weaker one as a shield, thats the best way against two oponents, dont let them suround you A style is just a name.
senseikellam Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 You'll do fine! Your instructor wouldn't be letting you test unless he or she thought you were ready. In most schools you need to pay to test which covers the cost of the certificate as well as other things and the instructor wants you to succeed. With that said, usually testing is just a formality and a chance for you to prove to yourself that you have learned and learned well!

GeoGiant Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 Try using weaker one as a shield, thats the best way against two oponents, dont let them suround youThat is my plan along with constant movement. I'm hoping I can keep both from setting their feet.
GeoGiant Posted July 29, 2010 Author Posted July 29, 2010 Well.... I passed! I am now a 5th Gup Green Belt. I had one screw up moment in the second kata I to perform but overall not bad. To get my belt I had to perform 3 kata, 5 one step defenses, spar 1 person for one minute, then spar 2 people for one minute. I was gassed by the end of the 2 person sparring but I think it was due to holding my breath through my kata.
