hey, thanx for the kind words and comments guys! this was at the sunshine open in panama city beach florida. end of the day, advanced heavyweight black belt sparring. yes, i did get the point after this pic was taken and did go on to win the match,and finally the division. yes, prob took a lick to the groin. the order of the day with some of the more traditional karate fighters there that day was win by attriction...we basically look like a head on train wreck..over and over again....and i felt it the next day.. pain heals, chicks dig scars, but glory.....that lasts forever!
