Son Goku the monkeyking Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 this past sunday i went to my first tournament it was called " the American warrior martial arts tournament" and i had been training as hard as i could for it for a month. like all first time martial arts tournament competitors i was very nervous, especially since there seemed to be alot of black belts and i thought that there would not be enough fighters in my division to fight so i was going to have to fight a black belt ( still whould have done it, but just did not want to becasue they had more experience then me. ) but 1# i had my self defence catogory which i got 2# place and i did not think i was going to place at all.then we had a brake b4 R second 1/2 and then was all of the sparring for colored belts, and then black belt sparring. and in my divison ( division 56 out of 63) i beet 2 guys and 1 6foot tall 12 year old girl( i am serious) and i beet all of them for the gold place medal. this was one of the most accomplishing days of my life cus i have never really won first or second place in anything, so i new that i had found something i was good at. the judges were surprised themselves becasue of my fighting technique they even told my sifu who was judging that they do not see much lead arm fighting technique or jumping kicks. and the fact that most people do not expect that was 1 of the reasons i probley did well. i was very blessed this past weekend.

DragonMike Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Congratulations!Keep it up. You'll find the the nerves pass after awhile (for the most part). But as you go to more tournaments you will have a tougher time surprizing people and you will need to improve on your technique continuously. 5th Dan Tang Soo Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
