As I mentioned earlier, I'm not spending much time going over the exam requirements. It's your responsibility at this point that you know all the things you're supposed to do. Ask me any questions or problems if you have some, and I may go over some of those in the class. If not, please work on them on your own or take private lessons.

Also, I'm trying to give you some tools that you can use in competition sparring. These simple combination attacks are just that; simple but effective tools that you can apply in Kumite. Not only the exam but the regional tournament is coming up in 3 weeks!
