This was my first time to compete in a Kali tournament. I didn't win the match. I won some nasty-looking welts though, which I won't show, though they looked worse than they felt. But more importantly, I won over myself. See, coming from an Aikido background with no absolutely sparring, my biggest challenge was mental. If you've never been hit, the idea of getting hit is scary. But then you get hit and yeah it hurts - and I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that I no longer fear getting hit - but it's not so bad after all. And it was fun sparring full contact, and fter he tournament we held a post-tournament party, which was also fun.
Gassho,
