@jamesinct We both did. I got my black belt and Robert got his brown belt.

[WarrenKeingGaw]

this looks more like a cardio work out rather than a test...

[brooklynmonk1]

he was grading us on correctness of execution as well as stamina.

[sengoku17]

Do you mean Kyokushin?...

[gkdrummerboy]

I wish gyms in the US would do this testing. It keep a good degree of technical standard and if Muay Thai had a structured belt system I personally would feel a visible representation of my progression.
