So, to all sempai in here What is the beginner exam? Sensei did tell me that 30 or 50 haya suburi is included... which I can't even get 10...

Getting back on topic ^^||...

I am sure you can get 10 ^__^ 11 the next day, 12 on the following one =P

Though, I'd repeat what people have told me: remember the other little things like how you stand, how you draw your shinai (I remember that my whole batch got a nice lecture for not going into 'taito' before drawing ^^'), how you bow, etc etc and so on and so forth. Last but not least! KIAI!!! As loud as you can as if you trying to make everyone go deaf. XD

It'll be great if you get to come over for grading ^____^ Then, we will be able to meet!

thank for the detail...i make sure bring all my equipment.

and yeah Elessar....i got 7th kyu that time.....and it's quite not good result for me

by **Elessar** on Wed Nov 11, 2009 12:34 am

Hmm.... it might no longer be possible to jump that far anymore though. I am not sure if it is already being implemented in MKA's grading system but at one point, the senseis told us that Japan has begun to incorporate the "Bokuto Ni Yoru Kihon Kendo Waza Keiko Ho" in their syllabus.

If I remembered correctly, for those who wish to grade for 3rd kyu are required to know the first 3. Unfortunately I don't recall up to which ones that 2kyu and 1kyu have to know... the senseis didn't mention anything about the dan holders too.

oh...i though is me

. Why he stop train Kendo?

Billy, I think Mr Yap was referring to someone else. That particular person was my sempai and doesn't do kendo anymore.

We do grade with bogu when we are already in 7 kyu. Hatsuharu, you did get 7 kyu during the last grading, didn't you?

by **billyteoh2006** on Mon Nov 09, 2009 11:49 pm

It is true, i m the one who straight to 1 kyu when my first grading..

billyteoh2006 wrote:yes, you need to bring along with your bogu even though you don't need it at the time.(below 6 kyu) Because, if you doing well at you kyu, the judges will ask you to go to the higher kyu.

Maybe you can straight to the 1 kyu this time!!

Lol. Dunno true or not, but Mr. Yap once told me that there was this young man who went from 7th Kyu straight to 1st Kyu..... Then he told me if I could do that, he would buy me lunch. Which I didn't, of course em26

If you meant 7th kyu, then yes.
