Yes, this is one of those threads in which I say I passed my black belt exam. It was my exam for 1st dan. It lasted aproximately 2 hours and a half. I had to do basics, punching and kicking techniques, 2 on 1 fighting, board breaking, and forms. I had to break two boards. The first one I broke it with a spinning turning kick and the second one with a spinning hook kick. 2 on 1 fighting was fun. I had to fight with no sparring gear and I could punch to the head, sweep, and do leg kicks besides the normal kicking. I kicked one in the mouth really hard and his lip swore instantly. I did Palwe 8 and Koryo for forms. Here is a picture of a friend and me after the exam.
Hi 'pulp fiction' and All, First CONGRATULATIONS... Second note spelling mistake... His lip SWORE - GOTTA LOVE IT All the best. Robert.
Hey WTG Pulpy! The trick now is to keep going! Lots of people drop out at 1st Dan, but trust me on this, this is when it really starts to get good. Congrats again!
Congratulations chica! Something to be proud of and keep at it! The sparring sounded like a lot of fun! Good on ya!
