The time soon passes ... the next grading is coming soon.

It's already nearly a month since the last grading and you may be asking yourself, 'am I going to be ready for the next one?'  You'll need to have done a minimum of two lessons per week ... and you might scrape through.  If you can do a minimum of  two classes a week and do a little practice at home too, you'll stand a much better chance of achieving your goal.

• Practise techniques that you've been given feedback about.
• Use  a mirror and assess yourself against the videos on the club's website.
• Get together with a friend and watch each other's technique.
• Don't forget to practise doing different stances while you watch TV.

There's so much that you can do to help yourself ... but the best thing you can have working for you is an ability to motivate yourself.

Be a grade above the rest.  It'll show in your Karate and things will eventually 'click into place' for you.

The next grading will be in December, if all goes well.

Good luck.
