TKD tournament for kids :)
31st August 2012, i went to Pragin mall to help out for this event here :)
Its a kids tournament consisting of pattern and sparring events. :) so for pattern event i got to be a call man, whose job is to scream the number of who goes next and makes sure the elimination systems goes properly. EXTREMELY stressfull and scary -.- 1st time i kena assign to that job. BUt good expereience la.
the for the sparring event i got to be corner judge :) which was fun, cuz all i ahd to do was sit and watch them kick each other and mark points when i see them hit target. the event lasted pretty long lah.. so was tiring but worth it. After watching the kids the whole day. from early morning, when they're scared and restless, most of them 1st time tournament. until afternoon, bored of waiting for thier event and making new friends, untill evening, fighting like crazy to get a medal. and each round they win, they would shameless jump and scream up and down and then fight with ALOT of motivation again next round. it was refreshing to watch.
Reminded me of how i once was and why i loved tae kwon do. :) it was the excitement of making new friends and challenging yourself to win another medal in the next tournament. And also after wathcing them AND their instructors cheering and screaming like crazy from th side of the ring while their students are fighting, i decided that, one day i will have students of my own to be proud of too :D hence now that my goal to get 2nd dan is done and over with, my new goal would to be and instructor soon! yosh! semangat dee :P must continue my tkd in KL soon before i get too rusty XD
