NOTES: A lovely grading .A very good display of your tekki kata, Your basics are very good and you are doing some really good kicks

The next grading think more about bunkai because you now will have to explain 2 or 3 pieces of bunkai from your next kata.

Your attitude is great when preforming techniques but be careful not to lose control of you stance ect when trying to hard.

You are now a Brown belt which is a really big responcability so its time to be serious train hard and know when to have fun.

Well Done Son the belts just got a whole lot darker.

NOTES:

We need to work on the way your kick returns back toward your body its hooking or curling a bit. Make sure your knees are

In front of your body on the Godan jump when re-visiting your Heians. Your Ushero geri needs lots of work. Don’t worry too

much though because we will work on it. A nice Enpi kata. Your Bassai Dai I have seen you do much better but I believe it

was the stress of the grading making you over exaggerate your karate techniques ...a good grading though Well Done Sonny

Very Well Done Sonny on getting your 1st Dan. Make sure you continue to train hard and look through all the feed back the panel have left for you. its really important to get even better and progress onward and upward.
