Way of Honor! One week ago we fought at Way of Honor, germany. How did we do and how we felt about the event?
The event was really good, well done Alexander Jost and rest of the crew!
Heat was overwhelming, but organizers had solutions for that: they made sure we had shadow to sit on, water to drink and cold outdoor shower! We fell in love with the shower, real life saver! ❤️🔥
There was breakfast for fighters, which was great solution for our teams. Event had different food stands so everyone could just pick what they want to eat. Ice cream and cold coca cola tasted pretty good after fighting in 32°C!
Marshaling was mostly great at Way of Honor. Marshals where strict and clear when needed, but did not intercept the fights without good reason. We had one situation, where our team was a bit worried about safety of our injured fighter. In this situation, we would have hoped fight to be stopped and injured fighter to be removed frofield for her safety. Marshals where experienced and tournament was running fluently. 🐝
Women 5vs5 had strong teams participating. Fights where hard and we enjoyed every second of it! It felt so good to meet everyone inside and outside of the list.
Our team had one drop out just before the tournament so we entered Way of Honor with 7 fighters. During the tournament, one of our girls injured and we ended up fighting with 6 fighters. We would lie if we’d say this does not effect to our state of mind when fighting. This is also something we love in buhurt: you find yourself in hard situations. It forces you to do some self-examination. This is how you learn more about yourself and grow as human being and fighter.
We did overcome our obatacles and ended up to bronze at 5vs5.
At 12vs12 we splitted our team and ended up with straight flush from Way of Honor: 🥇🥈🥉
Special thanks to fighters travelling with us. You made us smile when we felt blue and you made us stronger when we felt weak. 💚
Way of Honor and germany,
we hope to see you next year!
