Today is the Aikido National Kyu Examination,held in
the headquarter of Aikido Association...
At about 4.30am we have to wake up to prepare and gather at campus at 5.15am.
Then we depart from Melaka Sentral to Puduraya at 6am.
Wow,everyone was still sleepy.But, feeling nervous too ecspecially the higher kyu' member. They are revise back the technique by watching some video.
By 8am, we reached Puduraya and went to pasar seni to take Monorel to KL sentral, because the HQ just near by there. Then we find a shop to have our breakfast.
When we reached the HQ, many participant had already arrived and we start our streching and warming up section. Because of one of our Dojo member doesn't has partner, so I pair uo with one guy from IMU Dojo and ask my partner to pair up with the lonely member^^
Wow, just for a little while we warm up, the grading section has started. I'm the 2nd group to go. It feel not so nervous but it is really need the stamina to stand there. Half-way we do the technique, my partner ask me to slow down, may be i'm nervous, or may be he felt tired.
After I finished my part, I sit down beside the mat, and watch the higher kyu grading. All of the participant has done well in the grading, but I personally think that who are in 3rd kyu really need to practice more, sorry to said that too, because I can't feel the different but even worst then lower kyu. There is nothing call the flow happen in the technique, and also spirit to carry out the technique.
Howerver congrate to all that passed the grading. The next grading for me will be at next year, 2010 March. Now, I'll practice more and harder for the 4th kyu technique.
We are on our way to HQ
Hoping that I'm able to get the way of Aikido, and Qi that need in doing the technique, so that the flow of technique can be done without using up much energy like what our sensei said.
Friends, don't ever think of fighting, because you come challenge with me, I would tell you aikido is not the best among the martial art. I also want to mention that, martial art is an art that need us to use our spirit to going through, we must understand the "Dao" (Way) well. I'm also not good enough to fight. If just want to share some experience, it is most welcome for me to do so.
Anyway, congrate to all the member in MMU Dojo that passed the grading. Let us practice more for the next grading in this few months^^
