Worth it

Today, I drove for hours to attend a martial arts tournament, and then I waited ages for it to finally start. I lost in less than a minute. FML

I'm sensing a lack of falcon punching.

That sucks! I had something similar happen (I waited all day for my division although I only drove for 45 minutes) when I went to a grappling tournament expecting it to be double elimination like all my judo competitions and I fought a guy who couldn't beat me with technique so he finally just hugged my head and I only had a few seconds left in the match so I tapped out, thinking I would have another match anyway. Turns out it was a single elimination tournament and I waited all that time to lose to a hug. Oh well, though--you live and learn.

Put your jacket on. Take your jacket off. Drop your jacket on the ground. Pick it up. Hang it up. Take your jacket down. Put your jacket on. and you too can be the next karate kid.

Most matches have a set time, though, and only end early in the case of a knockout / surrender / TKO (technical knockout). That's how World Taekwondo Federation standard rules work.

Maybe it wasn't TKD. There's more than one martial art genius

Same thing happened to me. Trained harder than ever after, and won the entire tournament the next time around. Oss

That's awesome. Josh Waitzkin (the chess wizard who also happens to be a martial artist) always said he actually prayed that there would be someone there that was better than him and would beat him whenever he went to a chess tournament because that was when he improved the most. He learned more from the losses than the victories. The road to mastery is not about perfection but of growth. As long as you are better now than you were before, you're headed in the right direction.
