123 Centralist Tae Kwon Do Grading! ----------------------------------
6 Jan 07 --------- Stopped for last grading after my 1st dan grading 12 yrs ago, today finally went and see the black belt cum poom belt grading.
I went down to be a helpers as a sparrer also. I had spared with both brown one, at the same time i helped my friend also. At least she dont worried abt the black belt will hit her badly.
1st rd was with one of my friend -------------------------- When the sparring started, i went out to her and stand by her rite hand side. After we bow the examiner and one another, the refee anounch the sparring begin.
I was like tried to provote her to attacked me. She wanted to attacked but sad to said, she kick w.o looking, I was retreated a distance away frm her a few blind kicked. Is like she wont got me most of the kicked she does. (When grading she need to show her competent, by kicked the helper)
After a few retreated frm her, i was let her move in and crashed with me. Followed by i given her a few short turning kicks n long turning kick, which a light contact towards her middle section of body. Most of the ring towards her, i was just let her chased after me only.
Actually I can give her a solid reverse kick to her head, if i in the tournament. But i didnt, i just let her moved until she got tired. With her suituation and her sparring technic, I think she might nt passed her black belt.
If the examiner strict, i think she might be failed her grading becoz of her weak sparring technic. Also her pattern stroke power was not there, she is perfoming taichi not Tkd. I think is worst than a tai chi also spar like an OX!
After the grading she yet feel so happy!! my gosh if she really failed this grading how? give up le ar?
After the sparring, she wanna to shaked hand with me (In front of examiner). But i was rejected.
4 Reasons: ------------ 1. She said that words in front of refee, thx for not hitting me! It means she asked me for favor le rite?
2. coz if i shake with her hand, it show that i'm her friend who here to helping her. That may coz her even failed her black belt grading badly.
3. I suppose to offer her the handshake but not her, is like bright le.
4. Coz i feel that she need to improve more, and her sparring is like a junior belt, a brown belt sparrer it suppose to be more matured on it le. (Again spar w/o using technics) ----------------------------------------
I questioned her immidately, when she cool down after her grading.
(Me: Why u shake hand and said thx for not hitting me infront of examiner and refee, u wanner to sabor me and urself failed the grading rite?
She: Oh izzit i know no abt this ler? it will sarbo de meh?
Me: U sure or nt? how many times u come grading already!! Why u so defensive?? said don know yi liao pye liao!! i shaked my head n peace off walked away.)
Really lor worst than a junior belt, don no wat is the grading procedure like!! Ma de.. waner to sarbo me (C.B..) "Bad words"
Overall: She is still alrite la, but let of praticed. So more so defensive when we commented her, I dont wish to said her anymore, if she can passed her black belt this time. Is really tain yi le.
But of coz as a fren of me hope she can pass, coz Black belt dan grading is not ez as coloured belt. ---------------------------------------- Why i so peace off abt her??
Actually i was quite peace off abt her also, since 2 weeks before the grading. We already coached her 8 times of each patterns, yet she nver praticed. keep forgetting her pattern. (Total are 8 patterns)
I did asked her during the final training, how many times we need to repeated the movement of each pattern le?
She replied me we coach her this movement and that movement, she said she confuss. And before we guide her i did brief her dont took any intake frm the rest of the club ppl anymore, coz she will confuss. Anything not sure asked us, Yet she nver listened! knn!!
I also quite peace off, when she confuse herself coz she went to other places, to asked for so many diff type of movement in her patterns, and put the blamed on others that confussing her.
Actually i was ignored her reason that 2 weeks also, include change face to her and question her lots of why also. She was very defensive and confussing ways.
ok la as in i dont mind to helped her, overall i just hate her defensive. Lucky she nt my gal friend sia.. If not anything happened to her, I'm the 1st one will kana blame.
Oh ya she is ma ma gal also. She intro her mum to me, her mum was there at her grading. Lucky i nver kick her hard sia. I was like call her mum auntie, After self intro as a respect n i walked away.
Then she went to told her mum said, she came to AMK n trained is becoz i want her to come! U all imagine? wat the parent will think of me? Lie her kids rite?? Actually she was the one want to came over de.
I think she obviousily can see my face was peace off la.
Really lor 23 yrs old liao dont know how to take care herself, when she growed sia?? knn!! Ma te wan pa tan!
See is tat she so diffensive? Yesh i do ask ppl come to my place n trained, but so far only 2.. She i nver ask lor, i do her a favor le, ask my coach let her come. WTF yet she pok one hidden knife behind me. (Che.. B!!!) Really!!! Ma de wan pa tan (tan tan tan!!)
Anyway, i nver peace off ppl like that before. She broked record sia.
Hai.. ok la waste my time also!! but i have to said it out if not i might kick n killed her nxt time sia!!
Sry 1st time I scold bad word in my blog!!
Lets tok abt next guy who i sparr with. ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Another guy is also my coz junior! (Tian How) ---------------------------------
This guy is who really hard working boy, he early 10.30am went n pratice his pattern.
His grading his pattern out shine amount the rest of those who taking grading, his sparring his really good towards the 3 rds. Lots of attack and defence (Tats wat i mean as a brown one holder)
When he spar with, i did provote him to kicked me, but this time he really attacked me all the way, until i almost out of the ring. So i faster change me mode to sparring lvl, our speed is like getting faster n fastest. Scary sia... With this guy, I had used most of my kick tat i know, and all my foot work. Hes really good n competent. ha has her sis also there to used the cam to captured us, waner to asked the cilp frm her also. =D
I think he can passed the black belt w.o prob this time.
--------------------------------------------------- The thrid guy i sparr with is my si di, Terence student frm kumbagan CC --------------------------------------------
He go for his 2nd poom (2nd dan for the senior black).
I was spar with him, he keep attacked me w.o stop. tis guy was good, let me dont have the chance to attacked back, but u found some chance to defense. His weak pt is his head, so i only give high turning kick on him 4/5 kick got him. One kick was blocked.
His 360 degree turning kick was good, but too bad funcy until open up so many weak pt for me to defense back.
I also feel that this guy higher chance to pass his sec poom.
After the grading, i was followed my coach go for dinner and after dinner i go hm. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Poom belt = junior black those who belowed 16 yrs old
Dan = black belt (Senior black) = those who aboved 16 yrs old. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 7 jan 07 sun ------------- Suppose to see terence student colour belt grading de, but i over slep. So i missed it.
Reached the Tpy statium at 11am, the whole day watching the colour belt grading.
Abt 3pm one of my kayaking coach chai-ling was took her blown belt grading also, she is NTU team. haha.. i watched her grading, she was very confidents in her patterns and sparring. I guess she can passed w/o any prob.
until abt 5.30pm, grading is over then go hm. ------------------------------------------------
Conclusion ----------- This 2 days grading reminded and get me ready for the coming "apr" sec dan. I think i have to improved my patterns power, and my sparring technic more aggrasive and tectful before my sec dan grading.
Ya really a motivation one! Really a big open eye, and recap my passed confidents.
Yap i wanner to do better, coz 1st dan to 2nd dan is not ez. Beside sparring must up to standard, patterns also need to be outshine to impressed the examiner.
haha but not forget thx to that gal and my junoir let me have the chance to spar with them too.
