How did you feel the first time you beat someone when everyone thought you'd lose?

I've been doing wing chun with a friend at school for about a month now. We went to a get together where they were doing friendly contests and I won 3 hits to 2 against one of the tallest guys there. I'm only 4'11 btw. I feel fckin awesome how bout you?

    Don't let it get to your head. Keep training hard or others will pass you.

    I was at a tournament. It had snowed so there was hardly anybody there. In order to keep it competitive they threw everybody in the ring no matter the rank, male or female. I am a girl and was a green belt at the time. So all the brown belts were laughing how easy of a win this would be and who would take the places. They shook hands and congratulated each other on the easy win before the match even started. Then came the competition. I did not beat the black belt but I certainly beat all the brown belts who crawled off with their tails between their legs from embarrassment. I felt privileged to have been the one to teach these @$$es a lesson. Yeah, it felt pretty good and I don't remember most of my competitions anymore but this definitely was a memorable one and a lesson and warning to me as well to never act like these guys did.
