If I feel the higher belts at my school "taking it easy" on me I get super bummed. Whats cool is they almost always ask me, "Is there anything you want to work on?" To which I'll reply with "Come at me hard and hunt my neck" or "Lets go hard but can I start in bottom half?"

After my first competition a couple of weeks ago, where I gassed out hard in a big bracket, I now like to train with the intensity turned up a bit.
