Rank Test
Just finished rank test for my Orange Belt. It took an hour and a half. *whew*
I have been training so hard and I gotta say i’m honestly surprised at how fast my stamina and endurance left me tonight. I think the extra stress of waiting around for the test just wears you out. Something to learn and prepare better for next time.
Overall I feel like I did pretty well. Some of Sensei counting moves in my Katas mixed me up since I hadn’t been practicing them with his counting. But when given the chance to do it on my own I rocked it.
For basics I did 3 sets of pushups on Mi Bo Sey, I think I was just weak and not so much wrong, but I’ll ask Sensei about it on Monday. Then for fighting I was dog tired but stuck it out. I lost my last fight against Russell in point fighting (first to 8 points wins) Ugh. I know I could take him, it’s just point fighting isn’t my strong suit.
All in all, I really enjoyed the rank test. I feel like I overcame a great deal of anxiety and am definitely better off for it.
