I think it's normal for the first time ... My advice is practice .. practice... practice .... That's the advice I got from everyone in this forum & completely agree with it ... Good luck in ur next ones

I am still new to MA (only 2 months experience) with no tournament experience at all so I won't be able to help you much but I wish you the best of luck and keep us updated with the results

till now no regrets .... still new

Great topic .... you can find some good info on this thread as well : http://www.karateforums.com/sparring-my-new-world-vt46297.html?highlight=sparring Wish you best of luck ... keep us updated

Lol I can imagine it

It's amazing what MA can do in our lives

That's nice .... Good to love your dojo

That''s great experience ... Thanks for sharing it with us

Amazing Video ....

They are really amazing, I am lucky to have a very nice guy of themin my dojo, he is green belt and he is very talented in KATA .. he does the "near perfect" technique even better than others of the same rank. I believe that these guys are really blessed

lol

congratulations

Thanks for advice I am not hitting hard anyway

Very Solid Post

yes for sure, we have in the dojo a 2nd Dan guy (65 years) .. he couldn't even lift his foot to kick ... best partner to spar or do bag work with

Yes that's true ... thanks for the advice the only thing is I cant kick with my left leg as the impact come to my torn ligament exactly and it's really painful ... currently I am kicking in the air to get the technique right !

Lol ... really funny and embarrassing at the same time specially during grading

What is the funniest situation that happened to you in your MA journey (either while training or in tournament) ?

I think the best way is to speak to the director as you said. If you spar with beginners and intermediate, it will be unfair for them as you are advanced but at the same time if you spar with advanced you won't be at the same level as you mentioned and this will be unfair for you, bit of problem I am not sure what the director will say but anyway keep us updated with the director's decision and best of luck in the tournament

Hello thanks for your reply I'm 23 if that helps so I'm not going to age when you say cut it down does that mean sowing required? well looks like i need to give grandma a visit With or without sowing it's up to you

A good way to do it is to fold it at your waist level. Another thing but it depends on ur age, if you are old enough that you won't get any taller , you can cut it short to your preference. Wish this can help!!

Solid post ... very interesting to know
