Phew...

What a tiring Sunday I had...

Had KF grading test from 9am to 1.30pm. My pattern performance was quite ok despite of the lack of training - been busy - was glad I managed to execute the steps accordingly - but, need to improve more on the power.

Sparring - aiyak, my neck still sakit after kena grabbed dan grappled by Pheobe. She's a very good fighter, a blackbelter, a national champ. I'm taller than her, in TKD - that's an advantage, because you could swing your legs easily to the face of your opponen. Unfortunately, in KF - being shorter than your opponent will help you to grapple better, and of course if you use the right technique, your opponent could be easily "benam-ed" (at the mo, I can't find the English word for it, and I'm too tired to think) by you into the floor. In KF, you're also allowed to catch your opponent's leg (especially when s/he is kicking towards you) and counter the attack by throwing (pulling/pushing whatever lah) her/him away.

Pheobe and I had to spar against each other for two rounds. Seri agaknya - she won the first round, and I think I scored better than her in the second round. Entahlah...but I do feel proud of myself because at the beginning, I was damned scared of this gal - kaki tangan all besi.

My friend, Sherry was complaining about the "unfair" fight - I am a blue belter and Pheobe is a black belter. But, I think it's fair enough lah kan, a TKD black belter against KF black belter - it'd be even worse and uglier had I fought against some "junior" - lagi teruk if I kalah hehehehe.

Balik rumah...pengsan...

Today kena pergi kerja...
