Last Sunday i was at this tournament not as a participant but rather as a supporter for the MMU team. I've been asked countless times why i did not participate since this most definately would be my last chance to participate in any tourneys. Well, i did asked myself countless times as well. Watching each kumite (sparring) match reignite my spirits to fight. Especially when i look at the participants of the category which i would take part if i were a participant. A lot of familiar faces. The winner of the category is someone whom i fought 3 times before, once in Johor and twice at last year's tourney. I've never lost to him before... Watching from sidelines is almost unbearable. It makes me wanting to take part at that very moment, it's like it makes me feel so hyped up almost instantly... but when i calm myself down and ask myself did i regret not joining?

My answer is no, i didnt regret. I'm not in the right state of mind to take part and i don't want to join just for the sake of joining. If i were to join it had to be to win the whole damn thing.
Anyway the MMU Karate-do club did quite a good job organizing this tourney, thanks to Shiedan , Jasmyin and the rest of the group. Hope it'll be a yearly kinda thing. =>
