Presentation Reflection

1. Q. In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?

A. My first interview didn't affect my presentation too much, except for my answer to question 1, "I'm interested in studying Karate Competitions/Tournaments.  What can you tell me about it?".  My dad always helps find new ways to improve my sparring and I practice them before putting them in sparring.  The importance of practicing your skills is so you don't get hurt or get countered while attempting to use them, that's what led me to the focus I had for the 5 minute presentation.

2. Q. What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?

A. The one thing that stood out in my presentation was my video visual for a small demonstration.  The audience seemed very wowed to see how well my sparring was and the fact I won the match really impressed them.  I do feel my training helps me get better and strategize more ways to score so I don't become too predictable.

3. Q. What was the most challenging to do and why?

A. The most challenging thing for me was seeing if I actually had enough to make good time in my presentation.  Preparing a presentation isn't very easy for me, but turns out I did make great timing with my procedure.  I actually knew a lot more of the subject that I could've done more than 5 minutes, but then I just would've been cut off.
