For some reason, I've been having a difficult time getting this post to go through, so here I am doing it manually.

Tuesday night I had my first sparring match at karate, against an opponent (the only other "old guy") three levels above me. I took one hard hit to the chest (still feeling it now, in fact) but in the end I won 3 to 2 on points! My best moment was a jump front snap kick. I didn't connect, but I recovered fast enough to block his return strike.

I've never been a sporty person, but damn, that was fun.
