Answer 1

The belt test for belts up to green belt was handled much like a regular class at our martial arts school. We did a lot of the same kind of stuff you do in class. When I took the orange belt test at my dojo in July, the emphasis seemed to be on doing katas [h form 1], punches, kicks, and combinations. Oh, yes, also doing more pushups and crunches than you think you would ever be capable of doing.

Requirements for belt tests vary from school to school. Your own school may have the belt requirements posted on their website, if they have one. I could give you links to what other martial arts schools may have online, but that really would not help you. The dojo where I train has the belt test requirements listed on the wall of the training room. Yes, each belt requirement is framed and is hanging on the wall.

If your test is in an hour and a half, my best advice is to do some deep breathing exercises to relax before the test starts. Make sure you have some water on hand to drink.

The entire point of a grading is to see how you perform under pressure. Your teacher already knows that you can do the things required and if they are letting you grade then that means that they think you are ready for your next level, the grading day is just a formality really. If you keep in mind that all the training that you have put in already is the true test of your level not the 1 day that you are tested it should make it a little easier. But at the end of the day embrace the nerves, that is what it is all about, this process will teash you how to deal with these kind of pressure situations better.

Try youtube.com ...there's lots of martial arts videos on there, so you should be able to find a good amount of the techniques and forms.

And don't worry too much about your test..if you don't pass, there's always next time. Just keep tellin yourself that you've trained for this, and know what to do...and then just go out there and do your best.

And good luck :-)

Congratualtions on passing your test (sorry I didn't get in sooner). The only way you can know what you'll be tested on is by attending classes. However, that doesn't mean your instructor won't throw somthing unexpected at you (one of my favorite testing techniques).

Nervous is ok, scared is not. Now you know this from experience.

Good luck in your training!

Answer 5

I couldnt say it depends on how your school teaches.

I would imagine you have some sorda form or poomsea that you need to know. just practice your stances, hand skills, foot skills, sparring skill, and anything else you may be tested on (break falls, breaking, rolling, ect...)

just practice everything you have learned and you should be fine. even thou they may grade lightly because you are going to yellow, dont slack off and punch, and kick your best.

Good Luck

Answer 6

DON'T WORRY! If you have been paying attention in class and practicing outside of class, then you probably will pass your test!

Answer 7

its your first test right? dont sweat it, even if you preformed badly they will pass you, they dont expect **** from you on your first test, have fun!
