Tae Kwon Do!!!!!!!!

I just finished a tae kwon do tournament today. I thought the weekend was worth a recap, so let me start at the beginning: The tournament started yesterday, and it was my first time entering in the adult black belt division. I was pretty sure that I was going to get my ass kicked, but I ended up getting second... not first… but I’ll take it. I’m just going to use the excuse that the guy who beat me is a 3^rd degree black belt who’s like five years older than me. Right after the tournament there was a seminar that lasted all day. One guy taught a session that was pretty much Ninja 101. So yeah, that was bad ass, and I feel like a kung fu master right now. I guess the last thing worth saying is: these guys came from another school and basically made us all look like uncoordinated losers. One guy broke 7 bricks with an elbow strike…7… I counted! Another guy did a flying sidekick and broke a board that was being held by somebody sitting on another guy’s shoulders. So yeah that was also bad ass. To finish off, he jumped and kicked through three boards before hitting the ground again. So long story short, I need to go talk to that guy and have him complete my ninja training. Unfortunately, my heel is so swollen right now that I don’t think I’ll be climbing up trees anytime soon : (
