Kata Tournament

I have good news.  I participated in the kata tournament at the dojo.  I won 1 st place in my division.  There  were four of us total.  I also competed in weapons kata, but I did not place.  There were five of us.  I have more work to do to improve my weapons katas.    I went to get better at demonstrating my kata in front of people.  I always get very nervous and scared to be in front of a crowd of people.  I know with the more practice I get doing that the easier it will hopefully become.  I am afraid I will get distracted, forget my kata, or make a huge mistake.  That has happened to me before in a tournament setting.  Practice, practice, practice and hopefully it will not happen again.  I am proud of myself.  I celebrated my success today with a leatherbys sundae!  So delicious.  Even if I did not win I would be proud of myself for doing something that is very difficult and challenging for me.

My current Challenge progress as of January 11, 2025.
