Today went back for tkd in school. There was a friendly match with SMU. But first of all we did some "light" run. We ran around the whole school and did lots of sprinting. I was a bit worried about the sparring cause I have not sparred for about half a year. I was planning on a series of movements but they never seem to come out when i am really sparring. The first person i sparred with was a white belter. The Sir told me to just intimidate her by shouting fiercely and just doing continuous turning kicks since she would be intimidated by my green tip. I did as he told me and i think i scared the wits out of my opponent. I feel a bit guilty. I mean she's a nice girl and all... But well this is a sparring contest. I guess I am sort of a different person during normal days and when i am sparring. I dun see the need for bringing my sparring mood into everyday life... Sir Peter told me he was impressed with me, and said i was really tough and strong and recover fast and go all the way. However he wanted me to spar with someone of a nearer belt level to see my limit.
My second opponenet was bridget from SMU. I think I am really fated with her. I remember last year I sparred with her and got seriously injured (remember that damn serious sprain in which I could not walk for days... well it was caused by her). I really cannot think much during the sparring thing... All my mind goes blank and i just keep giving kicks to my opponent. My weak point is my kick is not hi enough sometimes, and i always forget to block. My hands are always flapping like a chicken. Good point is i spring my kicks fast, continuously, recover fast and am more aggressive than my opponenet. maybe others are surprised at me when i sparring but i can't really believe its me too... Was I really that scary. Why does everyone seem so shocked. Unless you were there just now, you would not really understand what i am saying.
Sir Peter said I should really train up for the nationals along with Lok and Tuna. Lok is tough too and Tuna is graceful in her kicks. I can't believe it... are you really sure its me... Can I do it... I am in a bit of disbelief but i dun want to let the compliment get to me... But i will train hard. Not for any competition . I just want to do it for myself.
