Hawkmoon Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 Morning everyone!That was one totally amazing experience!The thrill of walking onto the mat after all this time .... what a rush! As I walked up to the judges table to sign in and be checked ready to fight I really can't say what I was thinking everything was a million miles an hour! everything was/is a blur!To then walk onto the mat with all eyes on us, all cameras focused on our fight and a sight I'd not expected ... out of the corner of my eye seeing me on the big screen ... that changed the world instantly! The knowledge that the guy on the other side of the mat had one plan one thing on his mind, to hurt me to beat me, had my mind focused on one job!Man! what a rush! Sadly I was to be disappointed the guy beat me. It was a judges decision but I walked off in one piece, he was a good fight I felt unhappy with the result but that would be the sudden drop in emotion. Now its over the impact, shock, rush and emotion of the day, the moment are all gone I am happier in my self and the result and the day knowing I lost to the guy that went on the win the tournament! Osu!Happier yes defiantly happier.... so much so there is another tournament in a few months, my name is already down!A great day, and to add our dojo was honored by Hanshi Arneil, he called Sensei up and ...well..he is no longer sensei, he is Shihan!

Hawkmoon Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 ...After training last night I came home and watch some TV, just to relax and wind down.One of the guys had mentioned that we should all tune into channel 281 (The 'Active channel' on Sky TV) at 11.00.....so I did!The 36th UK nationals and European cup was on !!!(and yes I did look for and was successful, and found me in the audience! ) The 'open' fighters were being shown, no 'novice' bouts, so I'm safe when/if they decide to show the 37th Tournament. “A human life gains luster and strength only when it is polished and tempered.”Sosai Masutatsu Oyama (1923 - 1994) Founder of Kyokushin Karate.

Hawkmoon Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 ...by that time i guess thay may have OAP contests! It was bad enough knowing the cameras that were ring side were recording the contest for the DVD that is released a little later, and then when I walked on to the mat to see me on the big screen.......stuff got serious real quick! BUT now...TV....!! ...jeez! Need a haircut fist! “A human life gains luster and strength only when it is polished and tempered.”Sosai Masutatsu Oyama (1923 - 1994) Founder of Kyokushin Karate.
