Karate advise?

Question

help me, im in katate and on my belt i earn stripes one is optional i have tested for that spripe 3 times. should i keep testing for it or should i skip that stripe?

Answer 1

Sorry... Your questions isn't really clear... If you want a good answer you need to post a good question.

Why do you want the stripe? What does it represent?

Why do you not just take the other (higher level?) test?

Why does your school have this optional level?

Why have you failed so far?

Have you fixed this deficiency?

If you are failing it is usually because you are not good at something. If your art is a good art, everything you are studying is there for a reason. If you cannot do it now, you will likely need it in the future (or in a real-life situation?!), so focus on getting what you need.

And as the others have said... never ever give up.

Good luck!

Answer 2

i think it'd be a great personal achievement to finally earn that stripe after failing so many times. dont give up. stay calm.

a testing secret...and believe me when i say this. your instructor already knows you can do it, he knows you have the material down...the question is can you do it under pressure? ..so just stay calm and relax and have fun with it, dont get anxious or nervous. hope that helps. good luck.

Answer 4

A Black Belt is a White Belt that would not give up. If you are in a fight to save your life do you give up? Think of the kind of person you would want to share a fox hole in battle with, than be that person. Miogi say "No try just do" keep doing till you succeed. Sorry for the movie stuff ; but it is true. Do Not Form the habit of giving up. It becomes a hard habit to break. It may be true that there are some things you may never be able to do.You should make sure that the list is as small as you can make it. Don't short change yourself.

Good luck! Hang tough!
