Not a bad grading Tracey. Try and keep your upper body still when doing kicks. I need to see more difference between keagi and kekomi. Not a bad bassai dai though. Your stances were good and strong and you showed really good heart in your pad work. Well Done. 

24th October 2024 Grading for 1st Kyu Brown Belt Two White Stripes

Basics 8

Kata 7

Kumite 8

I think over the next six months we will try to work on your flexibility as its affecting your display of basics. Also try and hold your hands kamae still when doing kicks. When doing stepping up with the back foot for combinations don't step past. Your round house kicks need to be more of a circle and we need more difference between front stance and back stance. During Tekki Shodan we need much more knee lift and the kanzetsu geri in Bassai dai needs work. When doing your Semi Free Kumite make sure you are close enough to your partner to counter attack. Not a bad grading Tracey Well Done.
