Sixth DAN Grading

It's been quite awhile since I took my 6th Dan grading. It was on 17 April 2011 and I was not even in my best shape then. Anyway, it was really a last minute decision and I'm glad that I took it. I was the only coach that take his grading during the centralized grading as many high-dan grading is conducted behind closed door. I feel that as a coach you should not be shy to sit for your grading in front of the juniors or your students as it is an indication of your confidence in your own ability. Doing the grading behind closed door only indicate that you do not have the confidence to show your ability.

However, although I was not in my best shape, I tried to perform to the best I can and luckily I made it through. I have passed my 6th Dan grading and now I need to write-up my thesis in order for me to apply for my Kukkiwon certificate. As I have not really write thesis for a long time, hence it is actually not easy. I have the idea in my head, but to actually bring the idea into paper is really hard. Anyhow, I have completed 4 out of the required 10 pages which is a good progress. I intend to complete my thesis by end of next week.
