Battered and Bruised....

I took part in my first Arnis tournament yesterday. Fought 5 fights (I think, lost count a bit by the end)... Got very very bruised. Also discovered that if you do lots of exercise, get a bit dehydrated then go out for drinks you get a killer hangover the next day.... Oh well, it was worth it, I came second in the padded stick competition, so I now have a little trophy to polish once my hands have recovered enough to hold a duster....

Hard to see here, but my arm (lower one) is pretty swolen
(also discovered that I don't take such good photos when I'm drunk)
