Never worked or fought so hard before,
And muscles have never been this sore,
Strike after strike and block after block,
Kicking and punching and arm in a lock,
Face of determination and belief,
Breaks between each round of sparring were brief,
Sweat dripping and sticking with every blow,
Attacking and defending against a pro,
Made a mistake but got another chance,
Remembered learning the very first stance,
Pushing and pushing to earn the next grade,
Then looking back at the progress made,
Smiling despite always getting bruised,
We all train hard and bounce back when we lose.
- Kunoichi, Gloucester
