March 6 2013 , was my grading. It consisted of ground fighting, an intensive warm up consisting of fireman carries and drills and partner work. There knife defence, 2 on 1 sparring, dive rolls, basics and much more.
2 and a half hours worth of exhilarating work and training. After all, you want to show your Doshu what you have learned and that you are willing to rise to the challenge.
I wasn't feeling so confident about this grading infact I was the complete opposite because I know there are many things that I need to improve on but in result, I did receive my promotion.
what I took away from that : "hard work really does pay-off in one way or another" after that grading I knew exactly what I needed to work on and even though I wasn't expecting a promotion I did receive one, I felt pride in myself because I am one of the two girls that train with the big boys.
