Our tournament is this weekend. In class this week, we are going to be practicing the form we are performing in the tournament as well as sparring. I'm going to try and attend classes everyday this week.
As far as the boardbreaking goes, I'm going to see if I can break 3 boards with my elbow and two with a hammerstrike at home. I really can't practice kicks because I don't think my husband and daughter can hold the boards steady for me. So, I probably will just attempt one board with a front kick at the tournament.
The only thing I'm "nervous" about is the form. I haven't done Chil-Sung E Ro-Hyung long enough to have muscle memory. What's the worst thing that could happen? Hmmm...I could forget what I'm doing in the middle of the form! Ahhhh! I'm sure that happens. Try to keep the martial arts eyes going I guess - ignore any and all distractions.
I'm not sure how the sparring goes. I don't know how many rounds we will spar or if I might end up sparring against my own classmates. I'd prefer to spart against someone I don't know. How does that work? Anyone know?
