It just i'm very new in this martial arts things..but c'mon anything can happen!

Pencak Silat TPM Tournament

Just to share my first and only experience in Silat martial arts..
On my 2nd semester (now going to be sem 4), i get involve with Silat in UUM..
Basically, i do have interest but i don't have a chance since my school days due to no friends have the same interest in Silat and the club looks really sorrow back then..so i just let it go by gone..
Thanks to my friend here in UUM, Amjad have encourage me & my roommate (Aziq) to have a try..so that's the start i'm getting involve with this sport..
Other factor that makes me really want to learn Silat because it's an unique Malay tradition which is need to be continued by young generations especially the Malays..that's why i feel a responsibility for me to learn Silat.

My journey in Silat then begin..the training which is 2-3 times a week not to be include our own training too..
As a student, to dividing the time is quiet challenging..but when i'm around with friends, everything feels very fun & make me forget all the problems for a while..
To make it short, there will be a Closed Tournament will be held in UUM..at the moment, i'm a very newbie and doesn't even think about joining it..but when i thinking back, how about  give a try..this is a chance to see my potential and i don't want to regret it..So then i sign up, with only less than a month training i'm getting into a tournament..back then, it's now or never.

My first opponent which is my very first fight i have won against an Indonesian student with a score 5-0..that is the most happiness moment in my life..couldn't believe it by myself tho..by the way, my two other friend couldn't join because of clash with their Ko-k activities..At the end, i face with the UUM fighter and i lost with a slight score of 2-3..i didn't feel really upset because i felt that i have fought quiet well against the favourite athlete..After all, i felt very satisfied that i have grab this opportunity and gain a new experience..

Now whenever i have an interest about something, i will give a try..it's not about winning or losing, life is short and i don't want to miss to do something that i want..The important is the learning process of getting into a new things and just enjoy the moment!
