Next week I test for my first belt! I'm a little nervous, the school just moved so we're also having an "Open House" on testing day. Hopefully on the 21st I'll be an orange-white
im testing in 8 days! hey abby!!!!!!!! were in the same boat im testing for purple belt in 8 days!!! next saturday. im nervous.. this is my fourth testing. i am currently a green belt... good luck!!!
Good luck Abby! The first test can be a little nerve racking- especially in front of a big crowd! What works best for me is to imagine you're by yourself- be "blind", go at your natural pace for your forms, and breath. I have a tendancy to hold my breath if I get real nervous, and seriously mess up if I go to a definite count to my forms. Kind of think of the moves only.
Good luck Abby, let us know how you do. Just take a deep breath, and follow directions from your instructor. They'll walk you through it.
