Don't judge them too harshly. I have seen lots of belt tests, it is amazing how terrible the performance can be under test pressure even for people with very accurate technique. Suddenly their stance gets too narrow, the knee wanders backward from the correct position, and the wrong stance deteriorates all technique. The only thing that is still going for them is the effort they make. In my opinion at this point it is the tester's responsibility to bring out the maximum from the students. After all he wants to test their skills not their aptitude at taking tests. Pretty reasonable fighters can do so dumbass things on a test sparring too, even if they can perform very well for example on tournaments.

Good job kids. Here in Japan, Blackbelt (Sho dan) 1st dan. Means you have completed all the basics (Kihon) and now starting your real journey. These kids do deserve their blacks belts and I'm sure they have worked hard. However looking at their stances and balance, it looks like the Kihon has not been polished. It happens here in Japan, its more of a timing thing. Kids are grading every 3 months but not everybody is at the same level. However they are in the same school, class etc, their parents are friends etc. Therefore its important for sensei to keep the grading moving (in the case of Japan). However now is the time to ignore grading speeds at black belt. Kihon needs to be nailed before taking that 2nd.

I don't believe in belt ranks for kids. They can't fight to save their lives. There used to be a 13 years old "second Dan black belt" in my old sensei's dojo and I was a brown belt, and the kid couldn't hit me even one time in an entire sparring match. No matter what color you put on their waist, a Kid cannot defend themself in a real life or death fight. It's a joke and it shouldn't even be allowed in serious martial arts dojos.

But they need even more. Train their muscles to accept lower stance and proper hip rotation. They'll get their as they age.

To the Senseis Keep up the good work these children will become great people in life,discipline is the essence and to always keep the Doju Kuhn in your daily living,this will help you become a better person.Always do good in life,help and respect others.Big OSS.

Its more so just a move to turn around. Its taken lightly unless you consistently do the technique itself wrong. Edit: Nvm, I guess they were just taught it that way. Moves can be done differently depending on how the sensei teches it. That used to bug me a little at kata competitions, when other clubs would come over.
