Stepping into my third tournament with GKR (Getting Kicked ’Round) :-)

Stepping into my third tournament with GKR (Getting Kicked ’Round), I had all the confidence of a karate panda who just binge-watched kung fu movies. The stage was set, my karate stance was on point, and my expectations were high enough to touch the moon. 🐼🌕 But, oh boy, my first match was like a scene from a comedy sketch gone wrong. I guess I confused ’karate’ with ’karaoke’ because my moves seemed to hit all the wrong notes! And the judges’ decisions? Let’s just say, I was as puzzled as a cat at a dog show. 😺🐶 Now, I’d like to think my post-match face was a mix of determination and slight embarrassment, but it’s possible I resembled a confused emoji more. 😅 But hey, life’s a dojo, and sometimes we learn more from our ’oops’ moments than our ’ta-da’ moments, right? So, if you ever find yourself thinking ’Did I just challenge Bruce Lee?’, remember my tale of humble hilarity. And if all else fails, at least I’ve got some solid material for the next family gathering! 🤣🥋
