>>19603873Maaike had taken the loss with a quiet grace, but she couldn't deny it stung a bit to lose her debut match to someone much smaller then her.
The following morning Maaike arrived at the Dojo bright and early to work away the frustration and the stress. Sure she expected to lose, but it still sucked. At least it took 4 finishers to take her out, she later found out. So that was something at least.

>"58...59...60."With a sigh Maaike put down the weights. The learning had only just begun.
