Open Question

Kyokushin Karate, What are the best ways of conserving energy during a Grading, Tips appreciated?

first thing is you need to control your breathing. a meditative breathing exercise has your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your teeth, you breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. take deep breaths and control yourself.

don't throw all of your strength into each technique. that will just tire yourself out needlessly. and this part is true with all techniques not just on a test. it isn't about the muscles that you put into your strike but the technique of it. the speed, control, the targeting through your target, not the muscles that you can throw. that part will just tire you out. think of it this way. hold out your arm and have someone push it to your hip (from parallel to the ground) and apply no resistance. it then just flops. then use all your muscles and then you are still over powered and pushed down. then relax all muscles but remain firm and don't let your arm be moved. you should be stronger then when you used your muscles. that is the concept of remaining relaxed but firm. this will help retain energy.

bring water to your test. when they say go get water you don't want to be running all over the place wasting more energy.

figure out which part you can use to gain some energy back. I don't know if kyokushin has kata, but that can be a good area to relax and regain some energy.

everytime you are waiting before your next technique control your breathing, relax your body, and relax your mind.

don't look at the clock.
