Karate Tournament

Anxious? Nervous?
Anticipation
Confidant, Yet not so
---
Two Kata
Energetic, trying to stay centered
Focus, trying to stay balanced
Balanced, but without the enthusiasm
-
Bend the standing leg
More circular motion
Make it feel like a rear kick
-
Too much thinking
Does not feel automatic
Nothing works out
-
That felt like a good form
Good control, good speed
Memorize how that felt and repeat it
--
Sparring
Energy overflowing
Extending too far
Everything wide open and exposed
-
Block and counter
Kick and hammer
Maintain composure
-
Difficult to breathe
Sweat in my eyes
That point was mine!
-
Getting drawn in
Don't be so aggressive
wait for their error
---
Been waiting so long
Preparing for months
Finished with pride

Off the top of my head, Pablo orignial. Besides I don't know the rules for haiku. I probably wounldn't have been able to spell haiku if you hadn't already written it.

To tell the truth, I had to google the word so that I could spell it correctly.
