Finally my sister is out of the hospital ... I went out to help, then my brother went out for a week and now the in-laws are taking a turn. The poor girl has been sick for a month ... not fun. Then my mom had a whole bunch of tests at the U fo A. By the time the tiger challenge came around I had a full blown cold and was really tired (emotionally). I am so glad I went and didn't wimp out with the excuse of a cold or stress. It was awesome and to be totally selfish ... just what I needed. There is nothing better for the blues than hanging out with a roomful of excited kids who are having a blast.
Watching the adults do the obstacle course and pool noodle fighting was hysterical, it was fiercely competitive and somewhat dangerous (black belt injuries consisted of a sprained wrist and a broken finger) but still everyone was laughing and excited. I really don't understand why people question the sanity of martial artists.
I was totally surprised by my silver medal. I kept hearing the scores and thinking, wow I have the highest score, right up until the last blackbelt Sifu Lindstrom who performed his epic bench form and got the gold.
Thanks to everyone at the kwoon for sharing in such an awesome day.
To all participants ... congratulations!
