Advice for a Black Belt Grading

[silatman]

Tomorrow is the big day, at 8.00am we start our shodan grading.
We have been training for over a year since the last grading and was wondering what advice people have for doing well tomorrow.

I'd suggest getting LOTS of rest today. Make sure you eat good and keep yourself hydrated. If you felt it was necessary to review a few things today, I'd do them on your own and don't over work yourself. In other words, go slow.

The day of the test, make sure to drink some water prior to the test. Don't over do it, as you don't want to get sick. If you're allowed a quick rest/water break, again, don't over do it with the water.

Easier said than done, but do your best to stay relaxed. Good luck and let us know how you do!:ultracool

Since you have been preapring for a year, I am sure you will do fine. Just remember to breath!

Let us know how it goes.

Just relax and stay focus, have a good breakfast and remember all the past training you did to get to this point.

Good luck! Lotsa rest the day before, hydrate the night before, don't drink to much just before the test, a couple of power bars or some fruit helps to rejunivate during the test - just eat a couple of bites at a time.

MJS said it better than I could..

 

[Shodan]

Yep- the others have pretty much covered it. Rest, relaxation, hydration and good nutrition. You've pretty much already passed.......your instructor wouldn't have put you up for it if he/she didn't think you were ready. Just do your best and remember to report back to us on how it went!!

Thank you to everybody that replied I appreciate all the advice and the congratulations.
To have people from all over the world sincerely giving out advice shows that the martial arts aren't full of ego-manic bullies.
Once again my thanks.
Silatman.
