That’s right, everybody! I’m going to be in my first Tae Kwon Do tournament on April 13, competing as a yellow belt.
My two events are going to be Point Sparring and Patterns. Once I get my pre-actions down for the Pattern, I should be able to be a mid-level competer, but not medal level :(. In Sparring, I have no hope. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but I’m just not aggressive enough. If I can get the fight to them, and take them out of the ring, then I’m set*. I hope to at least make a decent showing of my talent, and I’ll be training for the next 2 weeks!
*If they’re outside the ring, you can still score points on them, but they can’t on you until they’re back in.
