How on earth did BlackBelt USA and HellaJera suddenly jump to the top of the profile views when they haven't been here that long???????

Welsh Closed Championships
Posted On 04/14/2008 13:58:29
MY DAUGHTER NATALIE IS THE WELSH CLOSED CHAMPION !!!!!!!
She did fantastic yesterday
I'm soooooooooooooo proud of her
In the final she came up against a particular girl who has always beaten her in the past.  It was a very close fight all the way.  At the end it was 0-0 so it went to sudden death.  The opponent came in with her usual side kicks, Natalie did a spinning back hook kick and caught her a cropper right on her head - 3 points to Nat and a win - (after several misses lol)
She doesn't care about the fact that she won GOLD, just the fact that she finally beat this other girl, after so many attempts.
So like I said, we are extremely proud of her, will post some pics as soon as I have sorted them out.

Oh - Tag-teams, there was one other team entered, so we were guaranteed a medal anyway.  I was extremely nervous getting back into competition.  We fought really well also, there was another lady from our club, it was her first comp so she was a bundle of nerves too!!  We won Silver so again, very proud of ourselves. 

I've even agreed to do teams at the next comp!!!

Back to sparring
Posted On 04/12/2008 23:10:52
Well after not even looking at my sparring kit for 9 months (I know I can hardly believe myself it's been that long)  It has finally come out of the bag again.
As you know I have taken going back to training slowly and have not rushed things, well today is the Welsh Closed competition....................
2 of my club mates have a team and needed a 3rd member, so I was persuaded to give it a go.
I finally did some sparring yesterday, and you know what, I actually really enjoyed it.  Yes there was a lot of puffing and panting, plus lots of sweat!!!!!!
It felt great!   I'm not ready to go back to individual sparring yet, being part of a tag-team is a whole different thing so I'm going to give it a go today
Watch out - the Lydney ladies are back

I DID IT !!!
Posted On 03/27/2008 04:34:46
Woo-hoo
Hi everyone
Well I did it
I got my new belt
Don't really know how though!!!!
After all the ups and downs of grading etc
I only went and got an A PASS !!!!!!

Can't really believe it
Apparently, yes I made mistakes, however what I did was good
And after all that mucking up my pattern, when I re-did it, it was good, had power etc

I would have been plesed enough to pass, I don't particulary think I deserved an A pass though, however I suppose it's the examiners decision

So I thought I would update you all on my news
I have a BLUE BELT - yay!

I'm back

Hi guys
Am back from my holidays
With a sore throat and an ear infection
Was a great holiday though, lots of mad photo's to prove some of the daft stuff I got up to!
So I'm supposed to be visiting my sick nan this weekend, only with feeling so ill, plus the gale force winds we have in the UK right now, I just couldn't face a 3 hour drive yesterday, then again today, so I'm going to try and get up there next weekend instead.
I have soooooooooooo many messages waiting for me, so be patient and I'll get back to you

Holidays

We are taking the kids away on a surprise holiday for a week
Then I have to go up north and visit my nan who is poorly
So I'm not going to be around to chat to you all for a little while
Just posting this so you don't think I'm being rude and ignoring you all
Will miss you
Chat soon


Horrendous grading
Posted On 03/15/2008 22:09:34
OMG where do I start?
Woke up early yesterday with sickness & diarrhea (not nice at the best of times)
Checked my emails quickly to find one from my instructor informing me that my TKD licence had expired!!!  
I went into panic mode, sent him a text saying how the hell am I going to grade with no licence???  Five mins before I leave he rings me to say sorry Linda I made a mistake it's next month it runs out!  I told him I would kill him when I saw him later on after all the hard work I have put in!
Got to my friends house to pick them up and take them to the grading and am on and off her loo every couple of minutes!
I felt reasonably confident until I got there and had time to practise on my own, all my patterns went wrong again and I couldn't remember what I was doing.
So anyway, Mr Farr usually puts us through our gradings, but no not yesterday, Mr Peros decides to do it!!!
So in my head I'm fine, I know exactly what to do as I've practised every day, only do you think we were asked to do any of it?????
No - it was horrendous, there I am stood right in front of my instructor and Mr Peros in the front of the exam
With about 20 of us, I've never been at the front before, first thing he asks us to do, I'm thinking what the hell is that?
I put the wrong leg back and am wrong straight away on the first bloody thing
It went down hill from there, evertything I did wrong, to cry in class is one thing to cry in your grading is just pathetic  I'm stood there in my white suit, tears rolling down my face, trying to shake the tears away wishing the ground would open up and swallow me whole.
Whilst doing our patterns I froze mid way through and couldn't remember what came next, everyone else is continuing and I'm stood there like an idiot.
After answering my questions I went and sat down, buried my head in a towel and cried my heart out.
I was so disapointed in myself, all the hard work I've put into training didn't show, I felt like an idiot who shouldnt't have been up there and doesn't deserve to earn her new belt
We are off away for a week tomorrow, so where as I would normally find out on Tuesday I have to wait over a week now to find out if I've passed or not.  Well I know I will have passed, although goodness knows how, but bang goes my nice clean run of A's and A star passes!!!!!
