Re: My Wife's Progress
As a matter of fact, she did!
She just won her age division in a stete-wide karate meet last weekend. She took 1st place in forms and sparring. she is a white belt with 2 stripes and had to spar against a green belt. First one to score 5 points wins. she was trailing 0-2 when the big girl she was sparring with stepped on her foot and pushed her to the gymnasium floor. When they squared off, Teresa put a back fist to her head. It ended up tied 4-4 and the big girl charged off the line running at Teresa as she had been doing. Teresa side-stepped and put one hell of a punch to the left ear square on the side of the head. It knocked the girl to the floor! Then, she said, "Let's go get my #$%@@@@ trophy!
I said when she first started she was a size 10 and had moved to a 6. Now she is somewhere between a 3-4 size and has gained a few more pounds. She close grips 155 pounds, preacher curls 70-80 pounds, and does 145 on tricep pushdowns. And, she's shrugging 185 10-12 reps for 3 sets.
We are now weight training 4 days per week and taking karate 2-3 days per week. We have a 60 x 60 metal building that my dad built a half-court basketball court for and we are moving all our equipment to it and buying some more so we can train whenever needed as our gym has limited hours.
Her goal is to compete in 2009. I see her getting there with no problems.
