Ahhh its that time again - grading on Sunday. Am taking blue belt 5th kyu.
Am very concerned, as some of you know I have been away from training for some time due to a knee injury. As such I have had about 3 weeks in which to prepare for this grading. I know I know everything that is expected of me but I am concerned that I will not be able to grade at same level as I have in the past. I know that my marks arent the be all and end all but I like to know for myself I have done well. Am just going to have to try my best. Although added to the fact that I am a 4th kyu normally, and have regraded from white due to a gap in training, everyone pretty much expects me to do well - I feel like shouting I WAS 11 WHEN I DID THIS LAST!!! Anyway - rant over!!

| Relax. You don't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Stay focused on the task at hand. |

Am furious with myself, I dropped 6 marks from last grading, lost a point because I made face contact while sparring (with my best friend actually! I was sparring for her benefit, she's a lower grade - whoops!)
I jarred my knee during the first section and it went downhill from there.
My kicks were awful, as expected really due to my knee. I thought my stances and kata etc were ok so wasnt surprised at getting the average grade.
Anyway its done now so just got to move on. Am taking a break though as I think I pushed my knee to far too quickly, I had literally about 6 lessons to get ready for grading. After they read out my marks I went to the toilet and had a good old cry! I actually came 2nd in the overall grading for my level but was just appalled by my marks. One sensei did come up to me and just said that I did remarkably well considering I was on crutches 2 months ago.
I also know that as my mum and her partner were two of the examiners that I do get marked down as a result of not showing favouritism - so I tend to have to work doubly hard to get good marks.
And yes we are going to Seni next year - have pursuaded a few of the guys to go a long so we can car share. Should be great.

Don't think of it as whining. Think of it as constructive self-reflection. Of course, you don't want to be too negative with yourself.
