First time sparring

Well, I clearly was more nervous than my son was going into this tournament. Beau is only 4 years old and it was his first time sparring at tournament. I made myself literally sick the days before thinking about it. He is the smallest one in our Taekwondo school sparring so I thought he'd be the littlest one at the tournament sparring too. Thank goodness this was not the case. The kids were very evenly matched and were all very close to the same size. He was not the biggest nor the smallest. He did a wonderful job. He did not get hurt and he did not hurt anyone and he did pay attention very well. He made sure to answer loud and clear with an impressive "Yes Ma'am" and he had a lot of fun. I am very proud of him how well he did sparring. He does need lots of work on his form! All in all, it was one of the best tournaments we attended. The weather was PERFECT! We really enjoyed the video, the shirts are awesome and the trophies were very cool! It was the first one we ever went to in Kendalville, but given the opportunity we will go again! The trip was even nice, not much road construction and we went through Shipshewana on the way home and got fresh pretzels and ice cream and looked at beautiful Amish crafts. The perfect end to a perfect day! Great Tournament Mr. Hayden!
