On Wednesday night I trained with four other students, one of whom will be doing the same test for shodan. When asked to perform as many techniques for my black as I could remember, I came up with ten techniques excluding the five fundamentals. I should be able to do another 5-10 freely to be able to pass the test, but I feel much more confident about it now.
The next highest number of techniques anyone could do was five, most of us forgot either ura or omote for each waza. I need to remember if I can do either omote or ura I should be able to do the other.
I need to check my Aikido handbook to see exactly which waza are expected of me in the test. Sooner would be better than later.
