The
Canada's Best Karate Black Belt Test is one of the hardest Black Belt tests in
the world. The test itself is 2 days of hard work consisting of periods of the
demonstration of skills in areas of Basics, Kata, Sparring, Self Defense, Pain
Drills, Bunkai (Kata with people attacking you to demonstrate what you're
doing), Hard Drills, and more. Students sleep in the dojo and are not allowed
to talk to each other or their parents. Prior to these 2 days, Students
performed a Kata Pretest to show their readiness; then a grueling fitness test
consisting of a mile run, push ups, sit ups, and several rounds of sparring. If
you can pass this test, you really are Unstoppable!
