Jenny and I went to the Sturbridge Event this past Saturday (Jenny decided to just check it out and not compete).I competed in sparring and kata (forms). I got eliminated in the 1st round of sparring. The kid was quick and we clashed a bunch but he skunked me fair n square. He went on to win 2nd place out of twelve of us. So at least I can find solace in the fact that I was beat by someone who didn't totally suck :)I pulled down 1st place in forms in a sea of 14 so that was fun and redeeming. The tournament was "ok" but it isn't something Jenny and I want to do a lot or anything. It was an experience. A lot of hurry and wait. And a lot of listening to dorks talk about how cool they are nice and loud for everyone to hear. So silly and goofy. All in all it was worth the time and energy. We had a pretty good time.

Grats on First in the Kata Jay! Sometimes the Kata is harder than the sparring because you have to remember certain things in a specific order, rather than let instinct take over. Great job!
I hope you found the kid after the show and pulled his pants down. That's how WE roll, prick!
Thanks guys!
