blacknebula Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 We did mock exams at training last night, and I got the go ahead to test for 4th kyu on the 24th. My husband will also be testing for 7th kyu, and my daughter for 6th kyu, this Saturday (17th). Pretty cool! I'm feeling pretty good about my test. I was actually eligible to grade back in July but didn't feel quite ready so I declined. This time around I definitely have the confidence in the technical skills but am apprehensive because it is the first time I am at a high enough level to grade with Sensei Yaguchi. Logically I know it shouldn't matter who is doing the grading - I just show up and do what I'm told to the best of my ability - but I can't help being a wee bit intimidated that I am going to be judged by a 9th dan who is the second highest ranking member of my association in the world! Any positive vibes sent in our direction would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Best of luck to you and your family. You showed great maturity in realizing you weren't prepared the first time around, and waited. I'm sure you and your family will do a great job! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacknebula Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Update #1: Hubby and daughter both passed, although she got a 'B'. Which is a pass, but means a bit more preparation was recommended. I sort of exptected that as I watched the exam and she made several mistakes. Which I think was mostly nerves because it was stuff she could do in the dojo just fine. But oh well she is happy to have her green belt and stay one level ahead of dad.
