Fight class: Pretty good class tonight. I wound up winning most of my matches handily. Getting decent at being quick and working the counter punches.

Fight Class: We jumped rope for over 20 minutes. Major cardio work tonight. Then paired off and eventually did some point sparring.

Tournament

Went to my first Karate Tournament. This one was in Lancaster, SC. An all day event.

The event itself was very chaotic, people everywhere sort of just doing Karate. It was a vast difference from what time I’ve spent with Karate so far in the Dojo. But it eventually started and ended.

I went for point sparring. I did three fights. One was with a brown belt from another school and I beat him. My favorite fight was with a Blackbelt, it was just a “for fun” exhibition thing but it was great. He wiped the floor with me but I learned a ton.

Overall it was a great experience and I think i’ll go to another one.
