rne02 Spectator 33 posts	Wednesday 3rd March 2010 at 15:48 Have never seen anyone fail. I would not imagine that anyone would as your instructor knows from watching you train each week if you know the techniques or not. I took a grading last week and managed to make a right mess of one of the techniques, however my instructors have seen me do it many times over the previous weeks, so they just asked me to do it again. I would imagine it would be pretty similar for you, even if you make a hash of something, they wll have seen you do it over & over so they will either pass you anyway or just ask you to repeat any techniques they are not happy with.
