Hello dear friends, I hope you are well, today I would like to share with you my little William's first karate competition, which I decided to call this post: Goals, Achievements and Overcoming. Some time ago I talked to you about the fear that my son would practice this type of sports, due to the blows, which is observed in combat, but, since he loves attending his classes and they have taught him, discipline, control their emotions and responsibility.
This type of sports, martial arts, my son has been very passionate about, the perseverance and responsibility he has had, in his classes, at his young age, he already knows that on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, he must attend Karate, he always walks, watching the time, so as not to be late, being one of the smallest children in height, he has always shown an interest in learning new knowledge, in general combat, he is fascinated by it, although I am afraid that they will hurt me I support your decision to continue attending, to encourage and guide you at all times.
So I will tell you, how it was, our first experience, of combat competition, with our little William.
Hola queridos amigos, espero se encuentren bien, hoy me gustaría compartir con ustedes la primera competencia de karate de mi pequeño William, la cual decidí llamar este post: Metas, Logros Y Superación. Hace tiempo les converse, el temor que tenía que mi hijo, practicará este tipo de deportes, por los golpes, que se observa en los combates, pero, como a él le encanta, asistir a sus clases y le han enseñado, disciplina, controlar sus emociones y responsabilidad.
Este tipo de deportes, de artes marciales, le ha apasionado mucho a mi hijo, la constancia y responsabilidad que ha tenido, en sus clases, a su corta edad, ya sabe que los martes, jueves y sábados, debe de asistir a Karate, siempre anda, observando la hora, para no llegar tarde, al ser uno de los niños más pequeño de estatura, siempre ha demostrado el interés de aprender nuevos conocimientos, en lo general el combate, le fascina, aunque me da miedo que me lo lastimen, apoyo su decisión de seguir asistiendo, para alentarlo y guiarlo en todo momento.
Por lo que les mencionaré, como fue, nuestra primera experiencia, de competencia de combate, con nuestro pequeño William.
On Saturday, April 30, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., with my family and part of my son's paternal family, we attended the combat competition, which was in Maracay, Edo - Aragua, located at the José María Carreño High School. , next to the Zoo, for all ages, like William, for the previous competition he could not attend, because he did not reach the amount due to its high price, but I decided to gather and have him live this experience, which was a cost of 15$ , in this competition attended, competitors from various states, such as Carabobo, Capital District, to demonstrate their abilities and skills and of different ages.
Regardless, the result would be a great experience for my son to live and that we would undoubtedly be by his side to support him at all times, I have always taught him not to count the times he falls, but the thousands of times he falls. You got up and keep fighting for that dream.

El día sábado 30 de Abril 2022, a las 9 :00 am asistimos con mi familia y parte de la familia paterna del mi hijo a la competencia de combate, el cual fue en Maracay, Edo - Aragua, ubicada en el Liceo José María Carreño, al lado del Zoológico , para todas las edades, como William, para la anterior competencia no pudo asistir, porque no llegaba al monto por su elevado precio, pero decidí reunir y que el viviera esta experiencia, la cual fue un costo de 15$, en esta competencia asistieron, competidores de varios estados, como Carabobo, Distrito Capital, para demostrar sus habilidades y destrezas y de diferentes edades.
Sin importar, el resultado, sería una gran experiencia que viviera mi hijo y que sin duda estaríamos a su lado para apoyarlo en todo momento, siempre le he enseñado, que no cuente, las veces que se caiga, sino, los miles de veces que te levantaste y sigas luchando por ese sueño.
When we arrived at the place, William was very excited, observing children his age and other older ones with the same uniform, what happens is that in the Dojo where he practices, very few take children his age and placed to practice, with some older than him, but he began to feel a little afraid, seeing so many people, it was when he observed other classmates from his Karate school, who would attend the competition, giving him words of encouragement , to encourage them and give them confidence.
One of the things that I have not been able to do and I recognize as a mother, is to tie the tape on him properly, he always goes with the wrong tape and he tells me calm down mom, the teacher fixes it for me and on this occasion, as the teacher I was on the jury, at one of the tables, because they divided him by age, I couldn't help William, so I had to ask one of the older boys for a favor, if he could fix it and he very kindly it was corrected, because it was misplaced again.
.
Cuando llegamos al lugar, William estaba muy emocionado, al observar niños de su edad y otros más grandes con su mismo uniforme, lo que ocurre, es que en el Dojo donde el práctica, muy pocos, llevan a los niños de su edad y lo colocan a practicar, con unos más grandes que él, pero, comenzó a sentir un poco de temor, al ver tantas personas, fue cuando observó, a otros compañeros, de su escuela de Karate, que asistirían a la competencia, brindándole palabras de aliento, para animarlos y darle confianza.
Una de las cosas, que no he logrado y lo reconozco como madre, es amarrarle la cinta como se debe, siempre va con la cinta mal puesta y él me dice tranquila mamá, el profesor me la arregla y en esta ocasión, como el profesor estaba de jurado, en una de las mesas, porque lo dividieron por edades, no podía ayudar a William, por lo que tuve, que pedir el favor, a uno de los chicos, más grandes, si se la podía arreglar y él muy amablemente se la corrigió, porque nuevamente estaba mal puesta.
Waiting for the children of his age to be called to compete, he told him to do breathing exercises, so that it would help him with his nerves, that was when his grandmother, great-grandmother and cousin arrived, on his father's side, to support them. He hugged them very happily and we decided to take a photo as a souvenir, that they were present, on that day, that it was important to him.
Some people criticize the good relationship I have with his paternal family, despite the circumstance, but I always focus on the emotional well-being of my son and not create resentment, anguish, sadness, hatred in his heart, but let it be happy and lead a full life, as we have done in support of my parents, who have been a key part, in the emotional life of my son and I will always be grateful, to love and care for him so much.
Esperando, que llamaran, a los niños de su edad, para competir, le decía que hiciera ejercicio de respiración, para que le ayudará en los nervios que tenía, fue cuando llegaron su abuela, bisabuela y prima, por parte de papá, para apoyarlos, el muy feliz las abrazo y decidimos, tomar una foto como recuerdo, que ellas estuvieron presentes, en ese día, que era importante para él.
Algunas personas critican la buena relación que tengo con su familia paterna, a pesar de la circunstancia, pero yo me enfoco siempre en el bienestar emocional de mi hijo y no crear en su corazón, rencor, angustia, tristeza, odio, si no que sea feliz y lleve una vida plena, como lo hemos hecho en apoyo de mis padres, que han sido una parte clave, en la vida emocional de mi hijo y siempre estaré agradecida, de amarlo y cuidarlo tanto.
When they began, to call the little ones, to order them in order of size, guess who was the first in line, (William), being the smallest of the group, to place the teams and present their opponent, my little one was very anxious to be able to compete, but his nerves attacked him to such an extent that he forgot everything he had practiced, I could see that the mothers and fathers of the opponents were very competitive and demanding with their children. William had the mistakes of him because his nerves betrayed him, it was his first time in competition. Once he finished, he ran into my arms, seeking support from me, so I congratulated him, for how brave he had been.
I confess that I am a very emotional person and if it belongs to my son William even more, when I felt that he knew that he had done it wrong, the only thing I told him was calm down son, you will have many opportunities to demonstrate your skills, I am proud of you, it made me want to cry, but I had to be strong and support him, so that he would get up and observe, that it was his first time and that this would be a great experience for him.
Cuando empezaron, a llamar a los pequeños, para ordenarlos en orden de tamaño, adivinen quien fue el primer en fila, (William), por ser, el más pequeño del grupo, para colocar los equipos y presentarle su contrincante, mi pequeño estaba muy ansioso por poder competir, pero los nervios le atacaron a tal punto, que todo lo que había practicado se le olvidó, pude observar, que las madres y los padres de los contrincantes, eran muy competitivos (as) y exigentes con sus hijos. William tuvo sus equivocaciones porque los nervios lo traicionaron, era su primera vez en competencia. Una vez, que culminó, corrió a mis brazos, buscando apoyo de mi parte, por lo que lo felicite, por lo valiente que había sido.
Les confieso, que soy una persona muy emocional y si es de mi hijo William aún más, cuando sentí que él sabía que lo había hecho mal, lo único que le dije fue tranquilo hijo, vas a tener muchas oportunidades para demostrar tus habilidades, estoy orgullosa de tí , me dieron ganas de llorar, pero tuve que ser fuerte y darle apoyo, para que se levantará y observará, que era su primera vez y que esto, sería, una gran experiencia, para él.
Then, when all the children made their presentation of Kata, the combat (kumite) began, one of the areas that most fascinates William, although I thought they would place him with a white belt, which is the duty, because they are the newest, they put him to compete with one of yellow belt and older than him, William, that did not scare him, because, he prepared himself for the fight, as the teacher had prepared him, telling him that the kicks were 2 points , he tried to kick him a lot, but it didn't reach him, because of his height, but he still kept trying to win.
Their guides were located in the back, to guide them and tell them what they had to do, the only problem is that by chance, the two children were named William and both did the same, until the other opponent hit him , because of William's face, what happened was that he lost concentration, although they called the boy to attention, and my son did not want to continue, when they started again, William neglected his chest and scored a point and lost the fight, all of them They applauded both for their participation and hard work.
Seguidamente, que todos los niños, realizaron su presentación de Kata, comenzó el combate (kumite), una de las áreas que más le fascina a William, aunque, yo pensé que lo colocarían con uno de cinta blanca, que es el deber ser, porque son los más nuevos, lo colocaron a competir con uno de cinta amarilla y mayor que él, William, eso no le dió miedo, porque, se preparó para el combate, como el profesor lo había preparado, diciéndole que las patadas eran 2 puntos , el trataba de darle muchas patadas, pero no le llegaba, por su estatura, pero aún seguía esforzándose para ganar.
En la parte de atrás se ubicaban sus guías, para orientarlos y decirles, lo que tenían que hacer , el único problema, es que por casualidad, los dos niños se llamaban William y ambos hacían lo mismo, hasta que el otro contrincante, le pegó, por la cara a William, lo que ocurrió que se desconcentrara , aunque le hicieron un llamado de atención al niño, ya mi hijo no quería seguir, cuando iniciaron de nuevo William descuido su pecho y le hicieron un punto y perdió el combate, todos aplaudieron a ambos, por su participación y arduo trabajo.
When I talked with my son, who told him that I was very proud of him, for taking the initiative to participate, he was sad and distressed, for the loss of the fight, I mentioned to him that together as a team we would overcome this and that we would prepare for the next competitions, which I had to see, as an experience, sometimes you win and others you lose, but we always end up with a good experience.
Like any pampering mother, she had saved some money to buy some things for me, but seeing how he felt, I preferred to take him to a place that he liked and help him clear his mind for a while.
Cuando conversaba con mi hijo, que le expresaba que estaba muy orgullosa de él, por tomar la iniciativa de participar, se mostraba triste y afligido, por la pérdida del combate, yo le mencionaba, que juntos como equipo superaríamos esto y que nos prepararíamos para las próximas competencias, que debía verlo, como una experiencia, a veces se gana y otras se pierde, pero siempre nos quedamos con una buena experiencia.
Como toda madre consentidora, había guardado un dinero, para comprar unas cosas para mí, pero al ver como se sentía, preferí llevarlo a un lugar, que le agradara y lo ayudara a despejar su mente un rato.
Leaving the event, we took him to a shopping center called Los Aviadores, located in the Palo Negro sector, Libertador Municipality, where there was a park with many inflatable mattresses, a space to paint his favorite characters, with tempera, which helped a lot, so that he could spend a fun afternoon and relax his emotions, leaving aside that feeling of sadness and frustration, understanding that he must practice and pay more attention in his classes, to reach the goal, which he wants, in this case win.
In this way we would culminate this tour, about my son's experience, in his first competition, where it was, for him, a great teaching-learning process, without a doubt, as parents, we must support our little ones in their dreams and continue guiding them , to be better people every day and learn, to prepare better in life, to achieve their goals.
Thanks to each of you, for taking your time to read my post. Greetings.
De esta forma culminaríamos, este recorrido, acerca de la experiencia de mi hijo, en su primera competencia, donde fué, para él, una gran enseñanza- aprendizaje, sin duda, como padres, debemos apoyar a nuestros pequeños en sus sueños y seguir guiándolos, para ser cada día mejor personas y aprendan, a prepararse mejor en la vida, para lograr sus metas.
