Still hurt all over

The World Martial Arts tournament was intense. Especially my final bout in full contact. The karate world champion wasn't champion for nothing. He hit hard. But in the end, the dark horse from Okinawa pulled out a victory. He wants to spar with me again sometime and says that I need to keep his trophy warm because he'll be taking it back next year. I think not. I think this is going to live with me until I'm as old as my sensei.

The downside is that I get to return to duty looking like I was hit by a semi, repeatedly. Though at the same time, you should see the other guy.

I'll need to thank Genichirou's grandfather for allowing me to swing by and borrow his dojo and himself for practice.
