Hi,
Ajarn Chai asked that I make my test available via video, so here it is....
Test rules can be viewed here:

At the time of my test which was in 1990, holders did not wear shin pads and there was no headgear. The requirement was 60 kicks and 40 knees per 3 minute round.
The holder for my first round was Mike Parker and the second round holder was Terry Gibson.
The test was held at an international martial arts camp in Wisconsin promoted by Pete Hetricks. Guro Dan Inosanto, Larry Hartsell, Paul DeThouars, Burt Poe and Ajarn Chai all taught.
Four people took their test that day...my good friend and training partner
Dean Lessei,
Dave Leitch, John Fehling and myself. Greg Nelson, Burt Richardson and a few other guys were holders. The only person to pass that day was Dave. Dean retook his second test with me in Atlanta and passed and I'm not sure what John did.
On to the fun...
