NOTES:  

Good basics and good kicks Darius. Over all a good grading but try and keep it very serious when waiting to do your grading.

You move very well in your Karate and approach it with %100 effort

But need to see more difference in your kicks between yoko geri kiagi and yoko geri kikomie.

Your Kumite (5 step sparring) and your Kata was very good. You should be proud of yourself you did really really well!

NOTES: A good grading Darius well done. You really tried hard try to be more clear when pronouncing which attack you are about to

do in your kumite so your partner knows what is coming and does not end up with a fist in the face.

Also your basics were excellent and also your kata was really tidy.

A really good score Darius.

NOTES:

Remember all your heian katas, You may know black belt katas which is really good but we need to remember all the others.

Your “one step kumite” was great and them kicks would take some ones head off if your life depended on it.

Karate means a lot to you , I can tell. But remember the harder you train or try and learn the better you become

whether its at school or in the Dojo ….. A really good grading Darius just look at your score its fantastic ...Well Done Darius !

remember to keep fists tight. Your Semi Free Kumite was really good too. On a whole excellent grading Well Done.
