godan test by Hatsumi sensei , sydney 1993 .mpg

You can hear when he is about to strike (he does this intentionally). When you see other sakki tests, he does not do this. At the end of the day, the determination of passing or fail depends on whether Hatsumi likes you or not.

I'll be honest. I would like to see someone fail at this test. (With a shinai, not a bokken, of course.) :P

I've seen one such misfortunate godan test somewhere.

And it was with a bokken XD
