November 12th, 2010 Cedar Ridge held kyu exams in the gym. The exams were judged by Sensei Rob, Sensei Christine, Sempai Nicolette(me) and Lauren. Be warned: whenever you have us judging kyu exams, you know its going to be a adrenaline pumping, sweaty, beastly workout. Fortunately, a lot of people passed their exams. It consisted of Triangle Katas, shifting patterns, shifting combinations, foot positions, punching, and full on FIGHTING SPIRIT. What we look for mainly for kyu exams is spirit. Spirit comes before skill or technique, so if you have a good attitude and good effort, it overrides if you aren't as "coordinated" as others. Everyone did a very good job, and those who didn't pass just have a few nuts and bolts to sort out. Congratulations everybody!
