I've been taking Karate for about eight years now. I'm working on my second degree black belt currently. Sometimes people ask me why I'm so strong but i just shrug and walk away, I feel like it'd be bragging if I talked about it too much.
My long time friend in karate class was sparring with me a few days ago, She and I have both been under alot of stress lately. We are both extremely competivive and we give no slack no matter who we're fighting (never underestimate your opponent right?!). We both flipped each other simultaneously. After we both got up from the ground we looked at each other and asked what was wrong with one another?
Seeing as how we both don't like to be seen as complaining or feel the need to be stronger than each other we both said nothing and got ready to fight again. This time something peculiar happened, we were both called to the center of the room to battle one another again. Every stood around us as we fought. The sensai (still don't know how to spell that) said that we fought with great passion. So i guess some good came from a bad thing.
A friendly comment wasn't enough for her or me. So we began to fight once again for the sensai stopped us when he thought we were going too far. We started fighting and I fell to the ground and she stepped on the wrist which i have arthritis in, I heard a loud crack and i kicked her in the stomach. She fell much harder than I did and I jumped up to help her. We had to sit out for the rest of the class, we didn't say a word to each other until we left the dojo.
We started laughing for a while and felt a little better. However she is convinced that she won the fight and we are both still stressed...but we did get some relief by beating the crap out of each other ^_^
