2010 True Martial Arts Championships

The Trophy

During my “Competitive Martial Arts Career” I have had ups and downs. I loved to compete. So much so I practiced every day over an hour and a half 5 times a week on top of my normal class. I gave it everything I had when sparing in class. I can remember sparing so much I wouldn't be happy until the sweat from my brow would burn into my eyes and the taste of salt in my mouth guard and only then I worked hard enough that day. As the competition would get closer the trill of winning was all that I could think of. I had to be first!

At the tournaments I gave it my all and sometime I would win and sometimes lose. Years would pass and the trophy's would accumulate in my room, then to the garage, then to the box in the garage.

Now that I am older and a bit wiser, and might I add I am only 31 and still a baby in this world, I now know it wasn't the trophy I was after. It was not for the short felling of happy I would have that would only last until the next class. Looking back I now realize that the real trophy wasn't the gold figure on the plastic base. It wasn't looking at them all stacked on a shelf that I can only remember the competition of one of them when I took second (that is another story.) It wasn't for the glory, pride, or anything in between. It was for the trophy inside of me that I won whatever the judges thought of how low my stances where or how fast I did that roundhouse kick to get in. It was inside of me!

I now realize what I was working so hard for. As the competition came closer I would try harder. I would spar faster. I would become better at Martial Arts and therefore become better person. Now I understand that is the real trophy and that will stay with me forever...
