I'm the happiest man alive!
Full 1st Kyu pass, Chief Instructor made me do Heian Godan again (not sure why, think it was because he wasn't looking) but I was very happy with my performance!
;D

Thank you Angela!  They handed out 'Instructors Wanted' leaflets after the lesson, I'm seriously considering it. |

Did it go ok? You didn't accidently teach him/her gojushiho dai by accident or anything?? ;D

;D I would need to know gojushiho dai before I could teach it, accidentally or not! It went ok, I think it was easy because I was only teaching one little girl. She seemed to pick it up fairly quickly, especially as she said she'd never done Godan previously. I think I could quite enjoy teaching, her getting what I was saying and actually doing Godan on her own by the end of the lesson was a big confidence boost for me. Ironic I should be asked to teach Godan, seeing as I had to do it twice on the Grading... |

Congrats on the 1st kyu pass Andy! Glad to hear that the teaching went well too. Maybe your examiner asked you to do Heian Godan again because he psychically knew that you'd be teaching it this week?  ;D |
