June 1, 201412 yr I had my first grading last friday. Shotokan. It went well. I graded from 10 kyo to 8 kyo. I was nervous and made some small mistakes in the beginning of the kihon test (mostly because the nervousness) but the kata and kumite went great. I got good fedback. I need to improve on the kombination of relaxing and kime. Relax when I should relax, and use power when I should use power. I tend to be too tense in the body all the time It was a good experience and I learned much
June 1, 201412 yr Cool, congrats. All of that will come in time 28+ years of training - and knowing the more I learn, the less I actually know...
June 1, 201412 yr Congratulations on your 8th kyu...well deserved...fells good, huh?!?! **Proof is on the floor!!!
June 1, 201412 yr Congratulations, although I am no longer a fan of double grading unless you have put in the time and couldn't attend the last grading. Or maybe have already trained and are being accelerated up the ranks.I have seen a lot of my students get double graded but they have not turned out well, especially after skipping essential time doing basics. A few I have taken back to basics and held them back until their skills caught up.
