according to the resent trend of announcing peoples Gradings. i though i'd have my turn. I'll be attempting my Shodan pre-grading on the 9th of April in Brisbane Australia. OSU too all.
Is a "pre-grading" a new thing? With my group, it's a case of turning up and doing the exam. You either pass or you fail. That said, I usually hold "mock" grading exams (within the four walls of our dojo) - for any of our students attempting dan grades. The real thing is an external examination. Is this what you mean by pre-grading or is this also carried out by an external board? Gary
Thats exactly what it is Gary. Just with a different name. Thanks to all who are replying to my shameless self promotion. lol. I'll try to get some videos to put up and have a laugh at.
