Being a good competitor, and a good teacher.

So, today I got this TaeKwonDo Dual-meet and there were a bunch of color belts right there. Like, ALL of them were color belts (aka green, orange, yellow, white etc.) And I was with my teammates, since we were all black belts and kinda awkward to the others who came from the different dojo.

Now, we were asked to "move" them, that meaning that we had to make them try harder than they are used to. Anyways, I got assigned to this group of guys (almost 6) and three girls, and I was supposed to teach them about technique and kicks and all that.I was like "So... hi." And I am so socially awkward that I didn't know what to do.

I was luckily asked to fight them only, and I kinda had to give them tips and help them without beating them up (sounds mean when you say it like that LOL) , so I ended up with two newbies as my fighters. Okay, the fact is that once you turn into a black belt you HAVE to learn to coach. So I took my inner Bruce Lee out and I teached them to do things or to improve I was like:

You (kick) have (move to the side) to get (kick kick) more (lean back) close so you can hit the other.

And I was like, "I for this. Too much for being a black belt." And I felt bad because my disciples (OMF-- what am I saying?!) Weren't learning anything.

But then after a long hour of non-stop fighting, greeting the saems, and all that thing, my -ejem- trainees... ehh well the guys from the other gym, came and THANKED ME. THEY FREAKING THANKED ME.

And I was like "huh?" -words, downloading... 2%- and after taking more time than Internet Explorer loading a heavy page to process their words I said: "You're welcome, we'll be waiting for you guys to come again" with my little smile and they answered me: "Of course! You taught us well!"

I ALMOST CRIED GUISE. EVEN A GUY WHO I DIDN'T TAUGHT CAME TO THANK ME BECAUSE HE SAID HE LEARNED FROM WATCHING ME.

I'm sorry for the caps. Even the teacher thanked me.

;;;;;;;;

Why am I so boring? I bet no one reads this. /PLOP

Bye bye pretty creatures!
