freezing up when time to test.
does anyone else have the problem with freezing up when its time to test for your next rank. i know my form i know my self defense im not to bad when it comes to sparring. everything flows great in class but when i test and its time to show what i know i seem to draw a blank my form gets real sloppy. i just kinda seem to crash.

If a person tells you they dont get nervous before test time, they are lieing! Its normal we all go through it, you just have to calm your nerves by breathing and go over your routine daily. Get there early and work on it before testing....best of luck to you, let is know how it goes!

@Wael yes, absolutely. If one is to tired to do much more then stand, all they have left is muscle memory and technique. When exhausted there is no way to muscle or cheat one's way through a technique or concept that isn't fully understood.
Interestingly this is the same concept from which many types of movement oriented yoga use to get to a point of empty minded relaxation.

Yes, that happens to me too. I don't totally freeze up, I just get split-second freezes while my mind processes what I'm supposed to be doing.
@ Alex, do you mean they put you through all that as part of the test? Some styles do that to exhaust your muscles, so that all you have left is pure technique.

In the class I attend, at testing, by the time we get to techniques and forms we've already done ~500 kicks, ~400 punches, ~300 (combination of) pushups/crunches/burpees, one is in survival mode and only muscle memory is left. (though sometimes I'm not sure the muscles are still with me, lol)
