So I had my 1st grappling competition yesterday. I lost by points. I wasn't able to get out in time to a better position to submit my opponent. I gave her lots of hugs and told her that she was an awesome opponent. She did well and placed 3rd. Even though I don't know her, I know that she trained really hard for this event as well. I respect her for that and hope to see her again in the future. My other training partners did very well at the kickboxing event! I was so excited to see them shine! We've trained very hard these couple of months and I was ecstatic to see them in action on the ring đđđ I'm very proud to be not only their training partner but their friend as well. Thinking back, the last couple of months was very sore, tiring, and emotionally/physically draining and I couldn't of went through all that without their support. I'm so blessed to have them in my life! Although I've lost, I've really enjoyed the entire event. I've been so inspired by so many competitors. I'm so glad that I was able to participate in this event or else I would've missed out on this great opportunity. My friend took video of my match, I've been watching it over 100x already. At first I couldn't find my mistakes, but now I see what I could've done better. I am ready for more practice! đđđ I think this grappling (mma) is such a beautiful sport. I think I'm in love đ haha I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to compete again but if there is one I'll definitely go for it again! Life lesson: don't be afraid of challenges!
