The overal system is a good one though.... as a sensei you can put the dates of attendance in the books and see when the bulk of the training was done (spread out or in the last few weeks)... could be a factor in the decision making

What I dislike, and I know this may not fit in with the soft and cuddly way of doing things today are the following two elements of grading today.
1) (Continuing on this line, which is a bit off the original topic.) The expectation of grading. Why do people expect to grade? Shouldn't they hope to be invited? If the latter, then we don't have to worry about people trying to squeeze in sessions...
2) Expecting to pass. I've seen more and more people show up for grading, expecting that the process is just a formality. IMO, if the individual folds under the pressure of grading (Forgets Kata, or even basic Kihon. Is asked to do the physical requirements like push ups or weight lifting, and simply can't do them.), then they aren't ready for the grade yet.
The mental part is maybe the most important part of the test, isn't it?
Osu!
