Judo
To any and all who haven't heard by now, I got my ass handed to me in the tournament in Spokane.
In the first match I was thrown clean and quick. Resulting in a loss.
In the second match I fought him off a bit longer, but during some wresting around on the mat he positioned himself in just the right way to block both my nose and mouth. Panicking a bit, I tapped out.

- Excuses
- I suited up at 9am, but didn't fight until about 5pm.
- I had no idea when that day I would fight, so ended up stretching and warming up a few times throughout the day.
- I have been sick for a week.
- Because I didn't know when I was going to fight, I didn't really eat much all day so I wouldn't get called up to fight with a full stomach.
- I haven't competed in anything for a decade.
- Reasons
- I was unprepared.
- I was not in good enough shape.
- I was not strong enough.
- I was not aggressive enough.
- I have not practiced practically enough. (Nobody fights in a vacuum)
- All the ideals, counter moves, protocol, escapes, and and dominating attitude vanished as soon as the match started. See previous bullet.
