I haven't been on here in a while, but I was caught between work and training to obtain my 8th Kyu yellow belt. So, I tested for my yellow belt the other day, and was informed yesterday morning that I passed my test! I'm now officially a yellow belt, and I'm looking forward to starting my training for the 7th Kyu orange belt.  |

Congratulations Doomed
Did you have to do a formal test or were you assessed in class? What next now you're at 7th kyu?

Thanks!
I had to record a testing video and send it to my Sensei, Master John Bryan. Now that I've earned my yellow belt rank, I'm able to train for the orange belt, which I can safely say is far more challenging than when I trained for yellow belt. In addition to doing yellow belt and new techniques while working more extensively on stances, I also must train for my first kata.
My Sensei emphasized throughout that training extensively is king; Whereas around at least ten to twelve hours of training was necessary for 8th Kyu, at least two hours a week for a three month period is required before testing for 7th Kyu. I've told myself I'll be training for at least four or five before testing. I want to be at my best when I take the test. |
