Hey guys!
Comps are tomorrow, and the prospect of it certainly daunting.
Some of us (mostly J2s) have been training since last December. The hours of training that we have clocked is sizeable, and we haven't looked back. As for J1s, it has really been heartening seeing the enthusiasm and hard work that you put into every formal and informal training session. It is without doubt that we are much more formidable competitors than we were a month ago. Now that the time has come, it's nice to see that we care for our progress as a club more than that of self-improvement.
The coarse texture of the mats under calloused feet assume a habitual spot in our memory. It's a different feeling altogether when we have to train in the mirror room. The ground is cold, slightly sticky and slippery.
No matter how slippery the mats are tomorrow, let's do our best. By that, I mean we go there and have fun. Don't be nervous; remember that we're from HCTKD, we can taek kick! Treat the mats as a venue for self-expression, because our individual poomsaes are unique and speak volumes above whot we can verbalise. So I guess... Make every kick count :)
Non-comps people, thank you for all the support and encouragement thus far and for spreading wonderful jolly optimism haha (no sarcasm intended, really). You guys have a very very important role as well tomorrow, xin ku ni men le!
HCTKD, let's go fight win!
I shall end this blog post with a quote that we can all chew on.
"I'm not in competition with anybody but myself. My goal is to beat my last performance."
- Celine Dion
PS After comps is sparring season, doesn't that sound absolutely lovely :))))))
