Oh man, what a great karate tournament on Saturday. I got to see some of my old instructors from when I was going to Tulsa University. I ended up judge Kata (forms) for the 3-7 year olds and fighting for the 3-7 year olds and for the 8-9 year olds intermediates.
The second part of the day, I got to fight. Unfortunatly, in the 3 years of inactivity with karate caused me to pretty much completely forget my own katas. It's something I definatly want to work on and master. But anyways, after forms and weapon forms was the fighting. We seperated between light weight and heavy weight black belts. There were 10 light weight black belts. I won the first and second fight. The second fight was really close too, we ended up both having 1 point after 2 minutes and had to go into sudden victory. We were fighting it out, and then he threw a jumping spinning kick to my face, his foot landing right on my eye and nose, mainly my eye though. He hit too hard (obsessive count), and therefore a point was awarded to me. The 3rd fight was against a good 5th degree black belt. I managed to score some points against him, but he got more on me. I ended up with 3rd place. So people from my school got the fights recorded, and I should be getting a copy. When I do, I'll post a clip of my face getting owned.
Anyways, playing games time.
TUMEO.
