Da Supa Freak
White Belt
On Wednesday, my Karate class held a demo for a Health and Wellness Fair at the community college we train at (Green River Community College in Auburn, WA, for the curious)
Being completely run by us students that we were only able to patch together last minute with participants dropping out like flies, it was pretty good, but it certainly showed that we didn't have the time to get very organized.
I have videos of some sparring we did and a Royal Rumble friends posted on Facebook. I'm going to try to get the original video to show the entire thing at some point, though.
Sparring 1: DJ (that's me) (left) vs. Victor (Right)

I was NOT used to sparring on mats, so I kept half-losing my balance when trying to kick. It sucked.
I'm also of the opinion that it was the best match we had -- both in terms of the matches in the demo and sparring matches between me and Victor. It was the only one from the demo that I get a sense of intensity in watching on video an it was by far Victor's best performance against me. I was actually pretty worried when he got up 2-1 on me and had to bear down a lot.
And I really need to work on blocking my face. It does suck when you're 5'4" and your head is usually the same place as the Solar Plexus on most guys. Headshots can hurt after a while
Sparring 2: Kevin (left) vs. Nikki (right)

Feel free to comment, everyone.
