So I had my promotion test yesterday. First off, I had to rush in because I had a long lunch with my old professor from university. So right when I got in, I got right into my uniform and after about a minute of stretching I was up to do situps and pushups. Which was really not problem for me since I was already decently prepared with my cardio.
After a while of waiting, it my turn to do poomse. Having memorized all the poomse up till my current belt, I don't think I made any huge mistakes. But I do admit I made the small mistakes of not putting enough power in some of my blocks and backfists and other things.
The kick I had to learn for this test is my spin hook kick. For a while my master has been training me to just loosen up on my technique. I have to admit I don't think I've achieved that flow on one of my legs with the spin hook. Interestingly, I able to do the kick well with my left leg but my right leg I put too much power in it and it compromises my technique as a result.
There was a short essay part of the exam that we had to hand in. Admittingly, I didn't have time to hand that in at the time. But my master is okay with handing the essay in later. I'll probably post it up in a blog when I'm done.
So all in all, it wasn't my best promotion test. But I did okay.
