If you train twice per week, and do five rounds per session, it will take you 30 weeks (about 7 months) to be ready to take the Level 3 test. The extra rounds are for continued seasoning of your performance and understanding.
The entire video should be less than 20 minutes. (We will not view tests that are longer than the time alloted!)
Your test will be evaluated and any suggestions for further improvement will be sent to you along with your certificate of rank.
Since you have already proven yourself with the other tests, this instructor test will delve deeper into each section.
The test is as follows:
TECHNICAL PRECISION
-
From Antas 5, explain and demonstrate in two minutes or less the Diamond Footwork for entering into the clinch.
-
From Antas 6, explain and demonstrate in two minutes or less, a takedown followed by a disarm.
-
From Antas 7, explain and demonstrate in two minutes or less the following disarms:
Push strip
Pull strip (with punyo over arm) -
From Antas 8, explain and demonstrate in two minutes or less two feints taken from Zulu stick fighting.
POWER GENERATION
Perform a two-minute round mixing various Power Generation Drills from Antas 1-8. Look to work through the various ranges. The emphasis should be on power, accuracy, and keeping the drill alive.
FIGHTING PROFICIENCY
One, 5-minute round. Start at long range and play. Go wherever the sparring goes, emphasizing technique over power. If there is a submission, come back to long range and start again immediately. Take care of your partner, and make sure your partner takes care of you. This is a fighting test, but it is not all-out combat.
