Our school hosts it's annual competition tonight and tomorrow. We are expecting around 2,000 people the rumor goes. Definitely, people arrived from Wales last night. And some may be coming from Spain as well.
Last year, I competed in forms, board-breaking and sparring. I have to say it was worthwhile for the personal growth. For me, it took a lot of courage.
This year I'm only doing sparring. I don't feel comfortable with Pyung Ahn O Dan as I've only been doing it for about 5 weeks. I could have done Chil-Sung E Ro Hyung but need work on the breathing/energy press - not quite sure what I'm doing there.
There is a lot of pressure for us to participate in all categories. I was told a good martial artist participates in all categories. Well, I don't feel comfortable competing in all categories this year. I'd rather not compete than do a poor job.
