 |
|
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 |

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. |
