Sarakkeissa on hyökkäysmuodot, riveillä tekniikka; soluissa on listattu missä kokeessa tekniikka kysytään ja mikä waza on kyseessä. Esimerkiksi, “U3″ tarkoittaa ushirowazasta tehtyä tekniikkaa 3. kyun kokeessa, tai “T1o” tachiwazasta 1. kyun kokeessa, vain omoto-muoto.

I just don’t have enough time to study two martial arts and I want to concentrate on the aikido 1st dan test. I’ll be taking the test no earlier than a year from now, but I still need to focus more on aikido and one way to do it is to start attending Pertti Lehväslaiho’s classes regularly.

I still think Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is something I’d like to understand better and I hope in the future I will get a chance to continue studying it.

All in all, it went pretty well and I’m happy with how it went. Manderbacka was judging the test and she commented that it looked “nätti” (“pretty”), which… I’m not 100% sure what that means, but I suppose it means it didn’t look ugly or awful. She did comment that I should do less, let uke do more. I was nervous in the test, so I probably didn’t want to give uke too much space or time, but I’m sure the comment also applies to my technique in general. Also, she said my technique had quite a lot of “mättö” (hard to translate, basically being a bit too heavy handed), but she did say that when you’re young, that’s the time for it if ever. One of the things she said that felt really nice was that my jiyuwaza looked like I hadn’t planned anything, that I hadn’t decided which techniques to use beforehand. The jiyuwaza was far from perfect, but it felp pretty good. I didn’t panic or get too overwhelmed by the attacks. There isn’t really anything I’d like to do differently, but it would have been nice if we could have show the jo katas more than once.

Now I can start studying aikido again, not just the grade test techniques. To start taking it easy again. I think I’m going to study jo kata 22, as it was removed from the grade test technique list and I didn’t practice it for the test.

Anyhow, thinking about taking the 1st kyu grade test in the spring of 2007autumn of 2007spring of 2008, and thought I could actually write down some notes to myself about the techniques.

The grade test requirements changed in the beginning of 2007, but the table still contains the old ones. I think I still want to practice them for the test, just because studying them too is good for my technique.

All in all, I need to ask whether the non-jiyuwaza techniques should be performed so that uke will be able to complete the grab, even in kubishime.
