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!!!!

Sparring Gear / Class

Last nite at my Kuk Sool Won class i saved the class from being musicless!!! One of the assistant there didn't have any type of music to go with what we were doing. So i piped up & i told my master that i have my ipod with me & that i have techno too. He said that would be GREAT!!!  So i got my ipod & hooked it up to the speakers. After i rejoined my group we were doing gymnistys & then i realized that i had my ipod on repeat one that one track so i when over & i fixed it so that it would play all the way through my playlist. By the end of the class i was really close to being able to do a front hand spring!!!! But during the class i was taking kinda negaive about it like i can't do this etc.
Im finally came to a desision to ordering my sparring gear!!!! I'll just wait to order my other tanning lotions.
I didn't know that it was going to be this much though!!!! But its the look of the gear that i like! lol

New Place & Test Nerves

Well we finally moved into the new place!!! I like the layout but the practice area is surrounded by glass windows!!!! Luckily my classes are at night so not to many people will be stopping & watching! OMG! But last nite I totally bombed!!! Our master had the whole class do all the forms that we know of. I guess I was nervous & everything. It's near testing for me!! I got almost every test requirement down & memorized!! I still have to work on the 2nd form just a little bit. I have the idea of how do to it but I still need a little bit more help with it though. The 3rd form I kinda know how to do it but like the 2nd form I need just a little bit of help with it. Now I know how to do all the techniques but when im nervous my mind goes blank!!! But if I just wait & think it will come back to memory!!! A few weeks ago I had ordered a book that costed a pretty penny ! But it will help me before the tests!! But I was told last nite that it might come in this week or next week!!! I need it asap! So that I can study it before my test which is the 3rd week in march! Im worried that when I have to quote the student creed my mind would go completely blank on me!!! I wonder if the my partner when im taking my test is just going to be in a right stance when im doing my techniques?????

Week Off !!! - Good & bad

Well i get a week off because the academy where im going is relocating so i get to relax alittle but still practice tho. Ive got one of the 3 student creed memorized which is good cause im testing in mid march!!!!  I do hope that i do practice as if i was in class though !!!! Im doing ok with the 3 forms but its like im forgetting steps but i guess thats how we are all at one time when we all started out? right. Well i did go ahead & ordered a textbook vol1!!! So that it can help me when im out of class thats usually when i start to forget how to do the forms & more ! :( so just my reviewing the forms & other things hopefully i can get them down pack like getting a dance move perfect everytime!!!
