Chen's Green Belt Test

Check out these highlights from a recent kyu test. Chen trains at my dojo, Nova Karate Jutsu. His test covered, ukime, kata (Heian Nidan and heian Sandan), kihon, pad drills, bunkai, tegumi & kumite drills, nage waza (throws), newaza (ground fighting), knife defense, and several rounds of sparring. These rounds covered kumite, throws, ground fighting, and "all-in", where strikes, throws and ground submissions are allowed.
Thanks to Chen's brother, Carlos for being Chen's sparring partner!
Karate, the way it was meant to be!

I made it to about 1/2 of the full test, battery died. This sum’s it up nicely. Great test, he earned it!

Wow! Greatest respect to Chen. I am really scared what he will have to face in his blue belt exam. This is far more Martial Arts Skill than I had with 3rd Dan Shotokan Karate - VERY FAR MORE!

It more than I did for my 7th dan test!

Congratulations Chen. Andy top class karate-jutsu you are producing.

You gave a very thorough test. I see your Shotokan covers all aspects of Karate. I was rooting for your student especially at the end.
Your channel helps others to see that Karate is practical for self defense. Keep up the great work Sensei Andy. I look forward to your next video. 🥋👊🏽
