Ready, Set, Tiger!

    Only 6-1/2 days till the Tiger Challenge. With the Farmer's day and Canada day demos neatly tucked under our belts, this is the main event I have been waiting for. It is whole school fun, everyone in the pool!! I love the Tiger Challenge in case you couldn't tell. While the Break-a-Thon is a close second, this is my numero uno event. The online Covid version was fun but not the same. Up close and personal, live and in person is soooo much more fun. 

   But I am still nervous of course. No one wants to have an epic fail in front of the judges and your fellow students. But that has happened to me before and you know what, I am still here! The lessons I have learned from competing in this event are priceless. Calmness under pressure, clarity of purpose, control of one's environment, all things you learn by competing in this glorious event.

   I have entered 7 events. In no particular order here they are.

Point Sparring

Board Breaking

Pool Noodle Sword Fight

Hand Form

Weapon Form

Obstacle course

Creative Musical Form

All equally hard, all equally fun, all equally a learning experience. I am really looking forward to this Saturday, I hope you are too.


See you ALL there!!!
