mal103 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have just passed for Nidan at our club's first summer camp!3 days of Karate with a grading on the end, all of my students passed with flying colours and my most senior student now has a brown belt which is scary.I was assessed during the weekend so the actual grading for me was mostly Kata and Kumite, our current Nidan also passed her Sandan so we both had plenty to prove (=lots of bruises)We did all Heian Kata and then several others, Empi, Chinte, Tekki Nidan, Hangetsu, Jion, Jitte, Jiin and Kanku Dai, I then selected Kanku Sho as my last Kata.Now sat with a cider and aches but feel on top of the world. I feel sorry for the couple of students we have had who stopped at Shodan thinking that was all that Karate was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mal103 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thank you all, it feels good but for me it is more recognition rather than boasting about rank.I feel more impressed that the students attending this weekend were all inspired after watching dan gradings so we may include a sort of demo before the next grading to set the tone.Found today hard work with aches and being tired but just had another hours Karate...
