Tomorrow I'll be attempting a dual grading: Shootfighting yellow belt and the first stripe on my BJJ white belt.
Wish me luck!

Well, I failed.
My striking was no problem, but a couple of the grappling drills caused me some confusion. My instructor is allowing me to try again in two weeks and told me later that a couple of his BJJ black belts failed their first gradings too which is reassuring in a way. I would rather be prepared and take longer than grade up and get killed anyway (though I guess that's going to happen anyway until someone newer than me grades up). It's all stuff that I am capable of doing, I just haven't quite assimilated the knowledge properly. It also turns out that I attempted grading about 3 lessons short of the required minimum, so I shouldn't have been doing it tonight anyway I suppose.

Just keep plugging away. You will get it. I have had a failed testing before, too. It happens to the best of us.

| not a big deal dude. its better to be a good white belt than a bad yellow belt. it all depends on the person. some people can learn things in a couple months, for you it may be a little longer, but you will eventually get it. just keep going to class and train hard. |

You only fail if you stop trying...otherwise, think of it as slightly delayed success.
