Final revision

Well, as the saying goes, if I don't know it now I never will. With only five more days til grading and one more official training session I can only revise my 83 techniques, 9 katas, 6 philosophy subjects as well as general ukemi, different stances and of course the whole thing wrapped up in a language I don't know. Thankfully there are plenty of resources out there to help the errant kenshi, such as Kenseikai's Shorinji Kempo site.

There's no point me cramming now and I've planned my schedule fairly well. I've aimed to peak this week and I have been polishing up some points this evening and aim to ask some final questions tomorrow at training. Then a light revision and training session on Thursday night and a day off on Friday. Saturday's the grading day so I'll take my mandatory kit bag with me:

- 1x dogi

- 1 pair knee pads

- 1 pair elbow pads

- 1 box (I refuse to call it a 'groin protector!)

- 1x micro fibre towel and shower gel

- 1x flask of green tea

- 1x sandwich and a banana

- spare contact lenses

- body protector ('do')

Oh flipping heck I forgot I'll have to lug that around on the tube. The things we do...
