kempocos Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Take your time , do not rush thru the KATAs it is not a race. Breath and kiai properly. These are thwo biggest things I see when people test thru the KYU 's "If you don't want to get hit while sparring , join the cardio class" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gheinisch Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 As kempo said, don't rush through your katas. Proper technique and breathing is more important than speed for now. It might sound funny but try not to think too much, your body already knows what to do, so just let it. Relax and enjoy what you are doing. Good Luck!

Yes, actually try to slow the katas down, as with the adrenaline you will be moving faster than you think anyway. Also, lots of deep breathing! good luck!
