For the record
I've been doing kickboxing for the past 3 mths now
I attend 2 - 3 training sessions a week
And today, we participated in a kickboxing interclub competition
The aim wasn't to knock someone out
Rather, it was to gain ring experience against someone else
Considering we don't have a ring to practice in
We were pretty much the underdogs
Boxers were paired according to skill level, gender and body built
Since I'm really new and not having the skill as most of them did
I didn't have a choice in terms of who I was paired with
We had the same skill level; about 3 mths worth of training (Tho, I think she's had heaps less)
Her built? A spectator referred to her as 'Goliath'
She was a mere 16 (So I found out after and she was shocked when I told her mine)
At a 175 cm and at least a good 65kgs, and myself at 150cm and at 50kgs
So it deemed a suitable reference!
At the end of it, my head felt like it was about to roll off (and I was told at some point, it looked like it was about to)
But I stuck it in, got over the big trip she gave me (I was air borne and landed on my bottom) and I won!
Who says little girls can't win?
i want pictures of your face post-match. i want to see a black eye, or a bloodied nose! bring it on!
none of that! I learnt my lesson and cupped my face with my gloves. What I do have is a very very sore bum, neck and a big bruise on my hips.
With headaches when I move my head too quickly.
I'm going to put up a picture of my trophy. I bloody-well earned that damm thing!
