Awesome Wuff is awesome
Aug. 2nd, 2009 05:54 pmToday was the regional karate tournament for
fire_wuff and Meglet - Meglet's first tournament, as a matter of fact.
Though small, it was a great day. Relaxing and fun. Poor Meglet got a shocking draw in the kumite (sparring) section - put up against someone in the State Team who was two belts higher - and was pretty upset at being beaten. Hopefully, over time she'll come to understand that she did bloody well to stand up against her opponent and protect herself as effectively as she did.
Wuff earned a first in kata, and a second in kumite. He, of course, downplayed that by pointing out he didn't have a lot of opposition, and they were lower belts. And that's when I thumped him, because he was awesome. :)
Next is the World Cup, in two weeks' time. Wuff's competing again then, so fingers crossed.
