WeekEnd & Yellow Belt Testing Thoughs & Questions
These last two days have been soo much fun . I have been shopping around via the internet looking for training equipment & other things like mats & so on I literally made a mental picture of what my Dojo would look like!! This weekend im soo excited for I will be doing step 1# which is to CLEAN THE GARAGE!!! I know that its going to take a great amount of work & power but with all this excitement that I have built up within me I think I can do it in one weekend!!! Im going to try to limited my outings this weekend but just do the important ones.
I will be posting updates on my Dojo area & when its all done I will post some pics!
For as long as I can remember I loved shrimp that day that my grandpa showed me how to get one. I loved shrimp from that day on intill now!!! When anyone even mentions the name shrimp all I can think of is the one movement in Kuk Sool Won!!! That we have to do countlessly over & over & over! So now my shrimp lovin day are finally over !!! I don’t know if I will be able to go back to loving to eat shrimp again or not!!
Im excited about monday cause i will be going back to class. We are doing techniques & forms! I can't wait!! I very eager & still are to learn the new forms & the techniques as well.
But i don't know if this is true or not so higher belts please help me out here. Before they reorganized the testing requirements chart on http://www.kuksoolwon.com/ it said for the yellow belt test that there would be one broad breaking! Which is one palm board break. Is that true??? Also have any of ya that are higher belts had to break a board with your palm in order to pass & become a yellow belt?

The Story - How I Got Into Kuk Sool Won
It happened many yrs ago when i was parked in the parkinglot of this one Martial Arts School. God told me that i would be going to that school that i was parked outside of. I remember my reponse to what the Lord had said to me! I responed saying Lord i don't what to do martial arts cause its kinda violative but the next few of days i was praying about & then i responed again to what God told me that one day. Yes lord i will do it whatever you have called me to do I will do & whatever u tell me to go i go & I will follow you! So little did i know that it wasn't all violative & it was all about self-defensive & other things! So of coruse i did my research & found my school & it was the same school that God told me that i will be going to!! SO that is how i came into Kuk Sool Won !!!

After Test Thoughts
After I have gone through what I though was a very hard test but it turned out very different than what I though it would be but there were times when it was a little bit hard thou even tho I did know everything that I was to know in order to pass the test. There were some surprises in the test that I didn’t think I would have to do. But if I just prepared like I did for the test that I just took & passed I will do fine in all the future tests to come!!! Now that I have gone through one! :p
Im really eager to start learning the other 3 forms & the 9 techniques more that what im going to learn tonite in class which is sparring & grappling !
After 3 months I found myself loving the forms of all the different things in Kuk sool won.
Its like once u are in something then u are getting the feel for it & then u start to like something a whole lot & that’s what I have discovering in Kuk Sool Won for me which is forms!!!! I just have to learn & memorize 3 more forms & im good on the form part to test for the yellow belt.

Testing Time!!!
Last nite I have a very weird dream & it had to do with the Kuk Sool Won test!!! I got up at 730hours & I put on some techno music to help me & I went through all my forms & techniques as well as my kicks!!!
So I ate some meat to help me remember all that I have practiced (this helps alot & I can tell ya from experience that it does work!). So of course I was nervous!!! But I was playing it cool. I packed the car & we all left the house almost half way there I asked someone in the car if I had my belt they checked & yes I had it in the car. So as we pulled into the parking lot I saw my Aunt's car & I saw KSN Joe's truck as well.
So we got out and greeted each other & Aunt told me I will do fine & good luck!!! So after talking awhile I went into the martial arts studio or academy. Joe said how are you Ms. Lu I told him I was fine. He also told me another white belt person called him to see if I would be testing & that she was nervous as well ( she & I are kinda friends ) so I said really! then I told him that I had this weird dream that in my weird dream I saw my Ex-fiancé!! KSN Joe said you where engaged? I said yeah just for a short time & he broke it off. Then I when to set up my tripod & put my camcorder on it. So I reviewed my notes for the last time!!! Then it was time to test! SO I started the camcorder to record the testing! yea :) It wasn't as hard as I though it would be but let me say this they throw some curve balls at us! He had use revise the forms & mixed up the forms. Plus we had to do front fall but I didn't do it right but I did the landing right! Also all the white belts go back to the back & do the first technique in a circle said sensei & we all went back there & of course I was nervous so I did the technique in right stance instead of the left so finally it hit me I was doing it in the wrong stance!!! So I told my friend sorry about that I was nervous & she understood! The rest of the test was easy!!! When he called us over & asked us a question about the techniques - what is this technique attack? So I gave my best answer!!! On Friday 19th I studied the Korean words for both techniques & forms & when he asked that question I knew it was techniques & like I said again gave my best answer! & I was right too!! The Sensei had us do the techniques on the mat as he was next to us I on the other had got it all right!!! Then he had us say the student creed (which I knew them all!) So the first guy stood up & didn't know it & the sensei said to me do u know it Ms Lu. I said yes I do so I stood up & recited it! Then he told the other girl to stand up & recite it but she didn't know it. So he told the first guy does u know the second one & he said no & then asked me do I know it & I said yes so I stood up & said it! so we were getting our stripes being put one & I didn't feel right with out saying the last one because it was the requirement to recite the student creed all 3 of them too! not just 2!!! So right after he finished putting them on my friends' belt & I saw him going over to get my stripes I said sir can I recite the last one sir. The Sensei said yes so I did & after I felt like I finished all the requirements that I had to do to pass to get to the next level! SO out of all the white belts that was testing I was the best one prepared!

Day 1 Intill the test!
Well last nite i went a little bit earlier than normal cause i had to practice on this one part of form 3 it was a balance issuse i was having. i got in at least 15 mins of practice time! :) So when it was getting closer to 8:15pm my sensei came over & was helping me out & i was really gald too!!! Then i don't know how he got on the subject about the testing. Then he told me that there was more requirements for the test! its little things but i wish i was more informed about it. But i studied long & hard today & i think i will pass. I know in the major requirements that will cover the test i have that down in a flash!
But we will see how i do!!!

Day 2 Before The Test!
As i went into my class a little bit earlier so that i could have one on one with one of the instructors just to go over all the test requirements & before we got started i as her a question & i was blowin away with the answer she gave me! I was real nervours about remembering all this other things plus reciting the student creed! & here they are going to test me on the 5 kicks! I even asked the main instructor & later found out he was the one that started the school!! So i have one more class before the test which is tonite & friday there is not classes due to the youth & kids testing. So im going to go in earlier than my class so that i can practice one of my forms. Now don't get me wrong here i have them all memorized but im just having a little bit of trouble on the 3rd form. Basically i have to work on the balancing part right after you do a inside kick & hit ur hand then u have to stand still with your knee level & thats the part im kinda having the trouble at! If i can balance & step back i mess up the whole form & MIGHT NOT EVEN PASS because of that!!!!
Im a dancer & a dancer has balance! I should be able to do it!

Testing CountDown!
Ok so i have almost everything packed down & ready for the testing that is coming up on March 20th! But i do have to say this tho im real nervous butterfulies in my stomach & a little bit of anxiety plus some of my family & friends are coming to top it all off! im kinda scared if my mind goes blank & i can't remember any of the techniques when they are going to be mixing them up i pray that they just give me a partner & say here do 1-6 techniques!!! cause i can kinda do them fast like that plus im real comfortable doing them like that too. Since my testing is on Saturday i though that i should get the most practice in as possible so im going mon - thrusday and on friday im gonna rest up for the test!!!! Now there is one thing that im kinda of real nervous about the one part of the test where u have to recite the student creed. I pretty much got that memorized but still kinda very nervous about that part. Now the forms i have those packed down but when i go to class tonite i have one question for my Master. Which i will ask when i go. i have indeed bought a camcorder to record the testing but im not sure so i will ask again when i go to class.If not thats fine i will use it to record the fireworks & other stuff!!!!
Hopefully my textbook is in & i get a chance to review all that im testing on!!! Im gonna have to see if i can get it after class & be in it all day wen. & thrusday & friday at work!!!!
