Well the tournament went rather well, well overall anyway. My event was late starting so I was stressing by the time they registered us and I had become very nervous. I totally freaked when I got in the ring and blasted through my kata.... uh oh!! Needless to say I didnt get a very good score. This meant I went into the kumite with very little expectation as I had already done badly.
Kumite, or sparring as you may prefer to call it is my favourite part of a tournament and I never usually get through the first round. I say usually because I didnt just get through the first round... I went all the way and got gold for my kumite (that means I won). Which wasnt bad for my first tournament in 3 years! Now I just need to focus on my kata, and make sure Im ready for next time!!
