Competition
Competition is the ultimate test of sport. It requires; skill, mental toughness and fitness.
It is one thing to be able to perform techniques on a willing partner - competition is a whole new ball game.
It looks so graceful, so effortless. The opponent soars through theair, almost floating, then... BANG! They hit the floor and the crowd erupts. 2 seconds early you were both equal combatants. How much things can change in 2 seconds! One rises victorious, the other faces the reality of defeat.
The truth is, it is anything but effortless. It is however the greatest feeling, hours of sweat come to together in the greatest test of sporting skill.
