I competed in the 2008 Battle of Iowa/Iowa Hanmadang on 04/12/2008 in Iowa City, Iowa. The competitors, judges, and officials were very respectful. I enjoyed competing. I competed in forms and received a 4th place trophy (I truly felt I didn't deserve the trophy since I messed up the form). I received 2nd place in knife hand power board breaking and 2nd place in sparring. It was a lot of fun. I look forward to next year!
