lol! your incouragable!
I may if the need to represent the school arises again.
Hubbie usually drags me into all kinds of demo stuff to recruit, and demo videos. Can't stand it. But, I'll do it for him, sometimes...
That day hubbie promoted me to "black belt" just for the fight. We do that alot if the student's want to compete at that level.
But in class their rank is the same as they are promoted in WC/WT, just have to finagle the belts for competition depending on the skill level of our student, so they get a good match.
i.e. a three month student of ours it may be fair to put them in as yellow or orange belt. (white belt would be mean to the other competitor)
but a 6 month to one year student usually goes to black belt sparring, depending on how often in the week they've been training, and how well their doing in training.
I was really over trained for the black belt match..I'd trained WC for over a year and a half when I competed. (almost cheating there! lol!)
Really, I can't compete TKD tourney's anymore. I can't keep from chain punching people in the nose, and they don't have the brains to wear face masks. And now, my wicked elbow keeps popping out there when folks get close in sparing. I can't stop it from doing that! lol!
With elbows, arm wraps, garn sauing the kicking leg making them fall down, advanced stance taking over their space and such, I'd just get disqualified constantly.
TKD sparring competition really works better for the newer student to WC/WT because of the rules.
Now, San Shou, and cage would be more accomodating. And that's just not my thing.
Only fight if I have too.
