Tempest Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I just made Ikkyu in Judo.Feels AWESOME, though I did have to re-do one part of the test, I got a perfect score on another portion. Think first, act second, and stop getting the two confused.

Lupin1 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Congratulations! I just took my test for rokyu in Judo and THAT felt crazy to me. My friend (we're almost always partners because we're close to the same size) is in the middle of her nikyu test and that looks insane. Congratulations on passing ikkyu. That's a LOT of work-- a LOT of stuff to know and a very long test. Enjoy the build up to shodan now. It's a very unique and special time a martial artist's journey. I know you'll make the most of it.Congrats again!

Harkon72 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 What grade is Ikkyu? Is it a Kyu grade, if so which one? I'm a little clueless about the term, please forgive me. Look to the far mountain and see all.
