Testing last night was HELL for FIVE hours!!!
It started at 6pm, and finished at 11:15pm. It was fully two hours before the first 30 second hydration break! I sucked down a ton of gatorade and water! In fact, now that I think about it, I downed 2 quarts of water and a bottle of Gatorade, and I didn’t pee the whole night!
Combatives were exhausting, but once we got to the defensives, things got a bit easier (if easy can be said about any part of this test.)
I totally brain farted during the Kickboxing and Kicking combinations parts… it was at the end of testing and I was a bit ‘frazzled’… lol
I have been training the kickboxing for 10 months and even at home with my daughter (who also tested last night) so I know the sets and combinations. But I just could not remember a thing and kept messing up the sets.
This was just Level 1 testing, but I now seriously fear Level 2 testing… lol
I should find out in a week or two if I passed I reckon.
Oh, and after last night, hell doesn’t look quite so bad anymore… lol
Re: Tested last night
Sounds like a “fun” night! Hopefully you will get good news soon. How many people were testing?
Re: Tested last night
Congrats man!:beer: Sounds like you had the ‘fun’ hubby and I had on Level 1-we were sore for like 2-3 days! We slept like 5 hours after we got home and had dinnerrofl2
Re: Tested last night
Things did not go so well for me… :(:
During my testing, I was also fighting a hurt lower back and severe sciatica down my left leg.
So, I was not able to bend as much as I should have, nor could I do the kicks as well as I should have. This lost me many points, as well as my kickboxing screw-up. :banghead:
As far as the kickboxing, I went back a few days later and went through all the sets and combos with no problems as I have for months. I am really confused as to why I could not remember them during testing. I have been in many, much more stressful situations in my career/life and always performed the way I should have. :confused:
Oh well, I am not quite Level 2 yet, and require further evaluation over the next month or so. But, my instructor knew I have been fighting with a bad back and my leg for the past couple of months, so he is taking that into consideration I guess. We shall see. :dunno:

quote stevem174:Sounds like a “fun” night! Hopefully you will get good news soon. How many people were testing?14 people tested including myself. 12 passed. 1 failed (and I haven’t seen him in class since), and I require more evaluation.
But, on the good side, my daughter passed!! YAY!!! :beer:
Re: Don’t quit!
quote jacgue36:but don’t injure yourself permanently! That wouldn’t be worth it either!I totally agree. My hubby and I had to postpone testing for over a year on Level 3 to due to real life and injuries. It’s great to make that accomplishment but no one’s rushing you:beer:

I had the same thing happen with my back on my second go-around for my level 1 test.
Immediately after testing,I had to lay flat on the workout floor for about 20 minutes before attempting to stand again.
