well i passed was not happy with a few things i did , i made a couple of stupid errors but was happy overall i got 26.5/30 was deducted points for leaning slightly in my basics and kumite/free fighting . nerves got the better of me but i settled down and got the job done my bunkai was really strong and the panel seemed very happy with what i did , free fighting went well really enjoyed it . thanks all for the comments now on to sandan

well played!

[Paul Bedard]

Darn them nerves! They sure do affect our performance. Makes us tense.. Well done Chris, I take it this was your first attempt. If so consider yourself in the upper end of the scale. I hope to do as well in november when I attempt yodan!!!
