shotokan-ste Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 hi people well my sensei has entered me into an annual tournament that we hold im in 3 classes individual kata,team kata(3 students performing the same kata,and kumite,luckily for me ill be fighting against 10th-4th kyu(im a 5th kyu purple belt,but being 30 something speed might not be my strong point lol,ive already ordered a groin guard just incase,being my first tournament im both very exciteted and very nervous,but mainly i will gain experience and my karate will only benefit.i remember attending last year(i had only had 2 classes under my belt )and id never have thought that 1 year later id be attending as a 5th kyu
NeilT Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Good for you, get yourself a good mouth guard too.I was a 5th kyu too when I entered my first ( and only) club tourney, plenty of nerves kept me buzzing all day, and I didn't feel any of the blows I took on the day, but hurt like he'll the following day. Had a brill time though.Let us know how you get on. And remember that point fighting in tournaments is very fast and light, I went in too heavy and hence slow in mine and lost, badly! 1st Dan Black Belt Traditional Shotokan Karate

Shotokan_Tigress Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I love tournaments. Do tell us about the result The greatest fight is the fight with oneself
Fearun9033 Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I love tournaments, more for the social aspect than anything! I mean, you get to see people that share the same interest and network. You also will most likely see them year after year! Definitely is a great opportunity.Having said that, best of luck! Blog! =D http://www.movingworlds.angelthesis.com/
