I won!!! I won!! I took first place in sparring at the tournament!! I won one match and lost one match (the other two did the same) but my point total was the highest. My instructor is thrilled. It's always cute to watch when his kids win....he can't go overboard celebrating, of course, but he kind of struts around like proud Daddy duck. I can't believe it! I've always been way beyond horrible at sports. I got so nervous that I was gagging starting about an hour before my scheduled time. When it was time for my group, I felt like I couldn't stand up. Honestly, I couldn't feel the tips of my fingers. I don't know why I put myself in this position of extreme stress. Not like it hasn't happened before. Collapse!!! Point sparring may be artificial, but if I can win when I'm that nervous, I would probably have a lot more confidence if God...or Godess forbid..I was ever attacked. I'd think, I'm too nervous to function..yes, but I'm nervous at the tournament and I still managed to pull some technques off. Collapse! Oh, my husband won too!!! He only fought one person and I was sure he'd do better than me, but he got hurt sparring in class a day ago, and he's 40 going against a 23-yr-old. This is his first 1st place victory and I know it means a lot to him!
