9/27/07 - SBD - Evaluation

Last night I went to the white, yellow, and orange belt evaluation because I missed my Dan evaluation on Monday due to Gabe being sick. I was the only Dan testing.

We started off with basics and they only asked me to demonstrate up to orange belt level basics. I guess they already know before the test how good you are. And besides, if I'm doing orange belt level basics I better be doing them with perfect technique. So they can grade on that as well.

We then went onto self defense. I did my sleeve grabs and really messed them up. I did them correctly but his hand was so sweaty it was hard to get a good grip on it. Something I need to be prepared for but it just made it a lot harder.

We then did kicks, again only to orange belt level.

And ended with form #1 by Sa Bom Nim's count.

Other than my self defense everything went pretty well. And Erin even made 7th gup (orange belt, blue stripe)
