Well,my instructor called me tonight and said that since a number of people had backed out of testing Saturday, that we would test Friday night during class.
So...after tonight's strength and conditioning class tonight (1.5 hours) we we all set to start the Hapkido class...when he said basically he was starting the test tonight. He basically said to the class "since you all backed out of testing, you're going to do the mandatory kicking for the test anyway and get nothing for it" (he he : ) and then we commenced to do the 17 basic kicks*, 10 kicks per kick per leg. 340 kicks in about 14 minutes. Then the rest of the students went off to work on other kicking drills while he tested 4 of us (me, my two kids, and another guy). We did the more focused belt required kicks on both sides with more attention, then we did throws for two minutes each non stop and then Hoshinsul (sameside grabs, cross wrist grabs, cross arm grabs, trap grabs, center chest grabs and inverted center chest grabs)
In the end he said we did very well and tomorrow we will finish of with the Point Of Reference drills and probable the hand strikes as well
*17 kicks

Inside/Outside Axe
Front Kick
Roundhouse
Sidekick
Low Scoop Kick
Inside Heel Kick
Low Swing Kick
Low Circle Heel
Hook Kick
