 |
|
I just received notice that I will be testing for my 3rd Dan this summer. I am really excited. Not nervous yet, but probably the closer it gets, the more butterflies I will have. I do have to say that I feel more prepared to take this rank test, than when I tested for shodan and nidan. Probably because I have been a nidan for quite awhile and have been able to train and teach 3 - 4 nights a week. I am really excited for some of the Ikkyu ranks that will be testing for Shodan the same night. It is going to be fun.

Thanks everyone. My big area to train is endurance. Had to do all my kata in front of the class the other day, without any break. By the time I got to Nidan kata, well lets say, I was pooped!

| Good luck. Keep working on your endurance. Throw some cardio in there and then do katas to build your endurance. See if it helps. |

Well I took my SanDan test and it went very well. Even had endurance! Think it was adrenaline based though. I am still very sore, but it was a great night. Got to be there to also see 10 others get their Shodan. Great way to start the summer. Thanks for all the encouragements.
