As we lined up to spar I was wondering why all the women kept shifting. Then I realized what had happened! There I stood all 5' 5'' of me next to an Amazon of a Black Lady! I got lucky and didn't have to fight with her the first round, but when it came down to the top two spots, we were paired up. All I could think about was keeping her off my head!!! Needless to say she won! It was close though, she only got me by one point. She said I was like a little bulldog, the more she pushed me off the more I charged back. Her name was Kate and we both gained a lot of respect for each other that day.
However, the next day I was bruised from the end of my right pinky finger, to my elbow. The guys at work teased me a lot, but I told them it was better for my arm to be bruised than my face. I used to love competing in tournaments even though there were times when I was the only Black Belt Lady there.
