jrharbar Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 My first time wasn't that good but it has a storyMy sensei just said, have fun don't take it personal, you know what to do., I was a 10 year old white belt with 3 months of training.an axe kick to the face, cleared my sinuses, knocked all the butterfly's out of my stomach, and had me thinking "weren't kick to the face like not legal" my sensei just looked at me and said "well high block next time".i lost by a land slide and beaten badly but the only thing i could ask my sensei was "is he gonna be in the next tournament ?" he said "yes, probably" i responded "good". My sensei then told me "your not going to participate though, we didn't come here to get personal we came here to learn" i was disappointed with my self because he actually told me "don't take it personal" and the first thing i did was just that.next tournament i didn't participate, but the boy that kicked me in the face was from Costa Rica, came up to me and said "I'm sorry for kicking you in the face the other tournament, i was punished for it and i'm not allowed to participate but wold you like to spar with me?"i said sure, and we became one of the main attraction of the tournament because we went all out kicking, punching and jumping heel hook kicks, jumping low sweeps, senseis just stood each on one side of the mat, we smiled all the match we noticed we had a ref on the side and people cheering, suddenly we had the timer on ?, sensei's didn't say anything just stood there, at the end of the time the ref said "ok we are about to start the tournament" after we were done we hugged and shook hands, we got a standing ovation from the crowd and 100 push ups each from our respective sensei's we laughed all the way and was one of my better memories of not participating in a tournament.and remember that my first real fight wasn't an official one it was the most exciting fights i have ever fought.happy training (TSKC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensei8 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Sparring for the very first time, ones head seems to get in the way, not because my mind can't wrap around the concept. No. My head kept getting in the way of my opponents attack...WHAM...WHACK...OUCH!! Edited July 1, 2013 by sensei8 **Proof is on the floor!!!

bushido_man96 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 My first time, I was pretty clunky and slow, and couldn't do too much.

DSKarate Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I was 10 years old and I was fat, now I'm 14 years old and weight like 35 pounds less than before, it was against my sensei, and at the end I got a bad blow on my stomach and the kumite ended The ultimate aim of the art of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the characters of its participants.
