Black Belt Test - Preparation

The best way to ensure that you meet your goals is through diligent preparation.  I am reviewing my game plan for testing this fall and I need to build a repetitive practice routine for timed kicks and board breaking. 

Specifically I need to build a quicker recovery time after performing the front thrust, side heel thrust, roundhouse, and spinning back kicks, for one minute each leg, with a one minute rest between each repitition.  After this eight minutes of kicks and eight minutes of rest I have found that my energy is quite depleted.  The answer always hits me as I write it down.  I will practice this set every week after our fitness class on Saturdays.  I am confident this will work!

Secondly, we spend time board breaking in class but I have yet to purchase the boards, cut them to size, and break them on a regular basis.  Again the answer is quite straight forward.  I will practice board breaking with my own boards every two weeks, probably after fitness class on Saturdays.

Have a great training week!

  1. Great question that you asked in class about eating. That also needs planning too. I'm very glad you posed the question.
