    -I got first place!-

    I went to a Taekwondo Tournament today! (Taekwondo is like Karate) I did really good!

    I'm a Black belt R! So I was in a ring with two other higher black-belt girls. One other girl was named Sarah (yes, we have the same name, lol) who was my age. And another girl who was two years younger than me. Her name was Emily. They were sisters!

    I did forms first. Forms are a set of moves in a certain order (kicks, blocks, and punches) that you recite to Judges. They scored me 9.9, 9.9, 9.7 (Which is pretty good, 9.9 is the highest score you can get, I think ). And I got 1st place in that! Emily got 2nd and Sarah got 3rd.

    Then we did sparring! Sparring is pretty much fighting each other, lol. We have Head gear, Gloves, Foot gear, Chest protector, and Mouth piece. So we are very protected!! Well I sparred Emily first and beat her 5 points to 2 points! Then I sparred Sarah. I Beat her 5 points to 3 points! So I won 1st in that too! Then Sarah got 2nd and Emily got 3rd!

    It's not all about the winning though, It's a whole learning experience. Also you get to meet new people!
    This was just a local tournament so it was not really big. I knew almost every person there! I has so much fun!

    I have been in Taekwondo for about 6 years! I have learned many things such as Respect for others and Myself! I have made Many, Many friends. And I will continue to meet more!

    I just thought I would share! I might post pictures of my Trophy later!

    -Sarah

    This is what type of taekwondo I do if anyone is interested

    EDIT: I have pics now!

    My trophy~


    Me with my trophy~


    1st Place


    Hope you liked them

    Congratulations! First place in forms is excellent, maybe even better than first place in sparring, in my opinion. It takes a lot of discipline, and is something you can keep doing your whole life!

    Thank you SO much everyone! I didn't think I would get this many posts!

    Here is What Belt I am. Which is a Black Belt R.. The R. stands for Recommended. It is the belt beetween Red and Black. It is a considered a Black belt, but your not quite there. Since it is not a very popular belt, they put me with the full Black belt girls.

    This is what my belt looks like~

    Red/Black Belt
    "The dawn of a new day. The sun breaks through the darkness."
    The previous day has ended, giving way to a new dawn. The student must begin a new phase of training; that of being a black belt.
    The red is the sun (in a sunrise) as it breaks through the black of night.

    To see all the belts go HERE.

    Pictures on the way!!
