Last Nights Fight - Whatever Lights Your Fire - Sarah Moras

I've shared before about my daughter Sarah.......the Jiu Jitsu fighter......The story goes something along the lines........ I always used to tell my kids - "it doesn't matter what you do....as long as you feel passionate about it"......Blog Entry: Are You Tuning in To Your Inner Passion? - What Lights Your Fire? ...well for Sarah this is the big IT! Last night was the Big Event!

She's been training for 2 1/2 years........and this was her 2nd fight.....Last year she won her first Fight by Decision........Last Night she won in the First Round by Submission.

I probably don't have to tell you about a mother's heart right?

She wouldn't let me come watch -because she thought I'd freak out........well I might have.......but I don't think so............so I had to settle for sitting and waiting on pins and needles at home........about 9:45 pm...........I got a text message from her sister Rachel saying..."Sarah kicked that girl's ass butt in the first round".........

After my initial relief......I thought about that girl's Mom...:-(............nevertheless......they call it a sport...........and its definitely Sarah's THANG! :-) Catch the photos.......

Fame for a day

"Team Aiki's Sarah Moras (red) battles with Columbia's Amber Grant and comes out with a win. Moras fought her way out of a chokehold to gain 'full mount' and deliver a series of undefended blows that eventually resulted in a win by armbar submission. Grant would fight again the following evening at an event"

Wow, Fast, tough, smart and cute. Looks like she didn't even have to break a sweat. Good for her that she is doing what she loves. And don't worry Mom, Sarah appears to be able to take care of herself just fine. When is she fighting in Seattle? We can go and we'll hold your hand.

Hi Liz... Congrats to Sarah. Not surprising though... knowing how much passion her mom has, it's no surprise that Sarah's passion would carry her to success in any field or endeavour of her choosing.

WOW - That is so cool... I didn't realize she did that. It still blows me away looking at your photos that you have a grown daughter!!

She loves it! you can tell that on her face. .congratulations for supporting your loved one to excell

Neat. It's a fascinating sport. The travel is lovely as well. I hope you do get to sit at ringside one day soon. Congrats to your lovely for winning her competition. :-)

Good for you ....a parents' support is sooo important. I remember my Mother saying she would rather my brother break is front tooth on a clarinet than the football field....he chose track and field...she was relieved...but it is a choice a child makes....and learns from...whatever the sport...if you are the best or the worst...it's an important life lesson.

Congrat to Sarah for her big win! She is doing what she was taught!!

Congratulations - all her hard work has paid off - a great feeling!

Liz, I think that's so cool. My son and I compete in Tae Kwon Do and I used to have a hard time watching him in tournaments but I got used to it. It's always nice to see anyone, especially kids have passion for something.

Liz, What a proud mother are are, congratulations! But only another mom would consider the other parent's feelings. You are special. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Liz - Congratulations to Sarah. I don't know about a mother's feelings here but I'm sure dad would be proud. Of course, with a daughter with those skills, you'd never have to worry about her having any problems on a date.

Hi Ms Chilliwack !

I always live by the creed "Go after your dreams with a passion" and it looks like your daughter went all out for her passion for Jiu Jitsu !!

Congrats to her for a pretty stunning first round victory, and congrats to you for being able to get through it without biting your fingernails down to your knuckles !!!

Cheers Liz !

Liz - Congratulations to your daughter. Guess you don't have to worry about the boys getting out of line! At least she didn't tell you she wanted to grow up and be like Gino Odjick.

You Go Girl!! That is way cool...but I imagine very hard to watch as a mother.. :)

OK, Proud mom, you tell you daughter you are proud of her and you want to see the next one!

Oh wow Liz. I am not sure I coulda watched that either! Way to go girl! KM

Skydiving and fighting. Quite the daughter there Liz. She's athletic for sure.

Liz, I really don't think that I could have watched that. Congratulations for your daughter's big win. One never knows in what our children or grandchildren are going to want to participate.

Mama Liz's Signature

Gary - I won't say I never wanted to head into the ring and GO AT HER....(not her )......lol

Kristin - I could have watched it she she didn't want me there in case she got hurt I guess? :-)

Todd - next one I'm there for sure! :-)

Connie - its coming out on Cable TV so I'll get to watch it then!

Liz wow - a big congrats to your daughter (and to you of course). That is so exciting to see your child accomplish something they have passion for.

It sure is different Sharon! :-)

Aye Matt - looks like he has a wee bit of a chip on his shouder! lol

Umm......sheldon - you haven't seen my knuckles! :-) Hows your little one doing? :-)

Jon - she's been living on her on for the past 3 years.....so truly its a comfort!

Margaret...thank you! what a kind thing to say!

Dan and Amy - I watched Karate kid last night....and watched that poor kid get smacked around and winced........but how cool that you got to do that together!

Gaye and Dorie - she enjoyed being famous for a day! :-)

Sally and David -yep...one way or another a parent can make a difference

Carolyn - its certainly opened my eyes!

Liz,

The kid in the second photo, horizontal stripes, he sure seems excited.

umm that was a shee Steve - the one that lost the fight..:-)

Congrats to your daughter, Liz! I used to do a lot of martial arts, and for her to attain that level of competitiveness means she's paid some very dear prices - and a ton of hard work and dedication. If it's her passion, then just stand back and watch her go! ;-)

Hi Liz-Looks like you raised a beautiful independent daughter which is super cool. Hope you are doing well. Happy Friday

Fighting is something that doesn't make sense to me. Why do we not allow dog fighting and cock fighting in their controlled rings, but we do allow people to beat up on people in controlled rings. Something's wrong with that picture.

DEC

2009

humans have the choice to step into a ring or cage to fight and can call an end to it at any time. a dog or a cock doesnt have these priveledges, they fight because they are forced to. humans abide by many rules, a dog will do what comes naturally and sink its teeth in and savagely rip the other dogs face apart, a cock has blades tied to its legs before the fight. do you still draw a comparison?
