bushido_man96 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 We don't get charged for the re-test. But a third re-test, I don't know for sure.... https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
dunnigan66 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 We always have a pre-test at my dojo the Friday before the actual test that way if they are not up to par they won't test the following Friday. My son recently tested for his brown built and failed the test but he understands why and what he needs to work on being a higher belt level. He knows his stuff and is really good but lacks intensity at times.
bushido_man96 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Its great that he understands why. It shows he is acknowledging what he needs to do, which is a good step in the right direction. I think that is how test failures need to be viewed and dealt with. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
maisweh Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 we dont have testings. pretty much if you know the material in class, and if you can hang with the people a grade higher than you, then you get the belt. most of my yellow belts have been with me about ayear and a half and they are head and shoulders above everyone elses, at least in competions. im not so much worried about form or the correct angle of the back or front foot. may just be the boxing or kickboxing that rubbed off the only "formal" grading we have is 1st kyu, and its mostly just to see how bad you want it. when i did mine, it was a 2 mile run, three 5 minute fights with different poeple, 2 minutes of burpees, 2 minutes of pull ups, 2 minutes of sit ups, 2 minutes of push ups, horse stance for 15 minutes with arms straight out, stomach punches and conditioning testing, random choke defense and grab defence against random resisting opponents at random times... THEN kata
FangPwnsAll7 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 In my dojo people rarely fail. However, our last grading back in december, they failed a white belt. Our instructor doesn't even let you test until he thinks you are ready for the next rank. I really don't think my dojo likes failing people. Tang Soo Do - Red Belt (2nd GUP)
Nidan Melbourne Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Well personally i have failed a number of people (both junior and senior gradings). They failed because they weren't showing the level of competency of the rank they were at the time or the one they were attempting. They weren't trying to do their best and just expected to pass without thr effort
