Tae Kwon Do Tournament

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Tae Kwon Do Tournament

Post by Professor Smooth » Sat Apr 16, 2005 11:21 pm

Just got back from the first tournament I've gone to in years. Competitive martial arts are such a thrill for me; I don't know why I haven't gone to one in so long. Made it to the finals in the Olympic Sparring competition and did quite well in the breaking competition as well. 3 boards, 10 seconds.

One problem though. I'm not a very good teacher. The guy I've been training went insane during his match. He was nearly disqualified for using excessive force (not recommended at the white belt level) during the entire match. He wound up costing himself so many points that, even though he dominated the match, he lost and left the building in a huff. The other guy I trained hasn't been back since I taught him how to fight like a killer (and subsequently maimed him).

Overall, it was a pretty good day.

Ever got any bad injuries?

And could you turn me into a lean mean killing machine? I fight like a girl.

I've never been seriously injured. Not sure about the lean part (that takes all kinds of effort), but I could definately turn you into a mean killing machine with minimal effort.
