Karate

I had some karate fighting today... I didn't actually get to fight in the tournament but I fought to place in the BUSA trials. There are only 3 girls in my weight category so I got in as they need 3 people to make a team!

Last night I went to karate training, went to Tescos to get some food and glucose drinks, got home, had a shower, ironed my gi, made and ate a second dinner, and went to bed, where I didn't sleep for a while!

The fighting today was ok, but I wish I'd had more fights to get some practice in, I only fought in two matches and they're 2 minutes each. I'm fast on my feet but once I'm in range I don't actually throw a (good) technique because I'm concentrating too much on not getting hit(!) and getting out before the opponent scores. I'd really like to learn to kick like the other team though, they are excellent head-kickers and a kick to the head earns you 3 points which really helps if you're down a few points in a match.
