Yesterday I competed in a Valentine's Day Martial Arts Tournament. (Celebrating V-Day with punches and kicks? :confused: ) Anyway, I competed in the forms event, and was the lowest ranking student in my division. (Talk about discouraging!) But I took 3rd place. :D

Next year when I'm thinner and faster on my feet I'll compete in sparring as well!

Congratulations, Sierra. I admire your determination. You put me to shame.

Thanks for the congrats Jannie, but the last part of your post concerned me.
Sometimes it's hard to tell online, but I'm hoping that this was said in jest.

We all have our strong points and attributes, and we all have our weaknesses and shortcomings. Negative self talk doesn't help anybody, ever. Shame is a very damaging thing. I'm hoping this wasn't a serious comment, but if it was, please talk it out with us Jannie. :confused:

It was in jest. I just mean you have more energy then me. I still try but, you do seem to run circles around me.
