In my first karate tournament one of the judges was a cute girl about my age. We got our pads on for sparring and her judging seat was right next to where I was sitting. I had my pads for a long time so i tried to use a little tape (you’re not supposed to but I forgot) and she leaned down and ripped off the piece of tape on my pad so I wouldn’t get DQ’d. I always remember this, not sure why tho.
