As most of you've heard, we will host a Kyu level tournament on October 23. That's only a month away. Remember, a competition is just a part of training; you'll learn how you perform under stress, facing an opponent who is eager to get you, surrounded by many people who watch your every move for entertainment or to criticize... Sounds fun, doesn't it?? :-) We will probably divide it in 3 levels: White & Yellow, Green, Brown. We may mix men/women for Kata if there aren't many competitors. But I hope there will be many from other dojos, as well as most of you here at VTK!
I will NOT do any special training for the competition, since the regular training is the best training. I don't want you to stress out about the rules, how well you're prepared, how judges score you, whether you lose/win, etc. It all comes down to on the day whether you did your best or not, and if you could learn from your mistake or success.
Just try to make it to the class as often as possible. We'll continue with more kicking, different timing drills, and perhaps spend a little more time on each Kata. Ask us for any advice, and if you need more in-depth / personal attention, schedule a private lesson or two.
