Test for Shichikyu


Master Dave Joslin tested me for Shichikyu (yellow belt) after Thursday tonight's class. He asked me and Ms. Bloom to do selected kata from the lower body moves.


When doing these examinations the candidate should wait for the instructor to announce the art then signal to begin by counting out the repetitions in Japanese. The candidate echos the count as they demonstrate, alternating right then left side when applicable. In the lower body moves, kicks, one shifts from a right guard to a left guard to demonstrate the left leg kicks; "eesa" is shouted when the feet are switched.


Promotion ceremony will be next Wednesday, July 11th at 6:00 PM.
