Going for my Yellow Belt tomorrow...
Got my 1st grading for Jitsu tomorrow.
Will have to do the following:
Kneeling and standing break falls (front rear side ways on each side).
Peg leg break fall.
3 basic throws - O soto Gari, Ko soto Gari and Gaki.
2 Hip throws - O Goshi and Kosi Gerumi (not sure of spelling !).
6 Arm locks
3 Wrist lock
Defense from Grabs (ears, throat hair) from front and back.
Plastic bottle defense (hehe yes it meant for general bottle defense but for safety we only use plastic).
Dangerous Parts Kata.
Wish me luck !Nick.

Best of luck, Nick.
Almost as intimidating as that camo belt?

Well I passed. Was pretty sure I would.
2 annoyances, they made me stand too far forward on the mat, so my first forward roll had me off the mat, unfortunatly Sensai did'nt see that. Now as this was part of a sequence we were doing it put me out of time which Sensai did notice, and was asked to do them again later, by myself, but I proved myself.
Then I got useless git (when we were doing the throws in pairs) who couldnt throw me very, and ripped my ear and put a cut in me head on his 2nd throw, so that part of the grading was cut short for me.
Rest of the grading went fine, I was rushing things a bit, so not being neat, but I think I only made a few minor mistakes.
At the end we did a V attack, where people take it in turns to attack with punches and bottles and the idea is to deal with them quickly (rather than perfect technique)... basically to see how you work under pressure, this suited me and Sensai commented what I did was good.Nick.

Great! Glad to hear you passed. How many were testing with you?

Well done! You've taken the first step on a long road, but it's well worth travelling!

Congrats, Nick.
As said earlier, I got a green belt in the style you practise when I lived in Bristol years ago. Let me know when they require you to do ukemi (a forward roll) from a table (I think that's blue belt level) and make sure you be careful with that stuff. One of the guys who practised it one week before his exam dislocated his shoulder so he couldn't participate in the grading. That was a real bummer.Dennis de Booij
It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
