First Tournament
There is a tournament where I live on the 27th of March. It's being put on by a TKD/Kickboxing school but there will be WTF TKD fights and mixed open fights as well as forms competitions, weapons, etc.
I'm 24 years old and have never entered a competition. Looks like the rules will be okay: no backfist, inside/outside leg kicks allowed...that's is for the rules.
I will have to go out and buy: a cup, mouthguard, arm and shin pads and a helmet. This is a lot of stuff to buy and I don't know if I'm even going to do okay or pursue this full-time as they're aren't that many competitions in my area that I know of.
I practise Wing Chun and have been for over 2 years now. I know I can be proficient at my style most days than not - just don't know what to expect from a bunch of kickboxers and TKD'ers. Can anyone relate to what I'm doing? Am I too old for this? Laf. Is it worth it to buy all that stuff? How much does all that crap cost?
I'm picking up all the forms on Monday to see what it's all about.
Thanks,
Couch
