Re: Funny Test Stories?

I love reading these stories. I have one myself. I just tested, tonight, for 4th kyu, and after I went through kata, sensei asks the other shodan what they'd like to see. One of them asks for sheho nage...but from sawari waza. What?! I've never done that in my life. But of course I can't say that, so I give it a shot. The uke sat there nice and comfortable while I proceeded to throw myself to the mat. Luckily she asked me to do it again and I was able to squeak my way through it. Who's ever heard of shiho nage from SAWARI WAZA?!?!
