I'll try an olympic wrestling gym I know to train some grappling.

thanx for the advices!
Thats good, but if youre looking to learn submissions make sure that the wrestling gym teaches it as i think some only concentrate on takedowns, and pins.

The test is an hour? Arent your classes longer than that?

Try not to loose too much weight (unless you have to)

Once you get there...more anxiety......


Once you've past it.....new challenges......

not too much weight, I'm thinking in loosing 4 lbs more, but it's not really important, anxiety is my biggest rival.

thanx

I remember my first test (though there were other "1st Dan tests from other styles)")

I took nearly three hours....

I recall being more nervous awaiting the results than astually performing

got problems...
I sprained my ring finger doing some grapplings with a friend who is a black belt in judo, somehow my finger got stacked in his gi and now it's all bruised and hurts a lot and cannot bend it, now I don't know how many days I won't be able to train, but I'm sad about it.

Thats the thing about what we do, something always hurts. Hell I cant remember the last time I was 100% healthy. Do what you can though. You can do a lot of running and kicking if you have a bad hand .

yes, I can still kick the bag, but can't do sparring, and that's what I like the most..., anyway, I'll go to the dojang and see what I can do without my fist.

ashley123 will become famous soon enough



one hour...lucky, mine lasted like 6 or 7..*remembers brutality*

my instructor(s) said that you should always remember your black belt test and what it felt like...do i ever lol..

but the main thing to have for a test is confidence and to never give up, your judges/instructors or whoever is testing you will recognize when you are doing your very best.

Good luck on your testing! Just keep practicing your forms, one-steps, sparring, etc. and you'll do fine!
