Hello gents, not sure if this is the right place for this but noticed that there's threads similar here so thought I'd post it.
May have a fight coming up. Been going to a gym for about a month (I'm in and out of gyms due to my work meaning I move from city to city) grading Wednesday going from unranked to orange which I'm fairly proud of, if I pass but that's not the point of the post.
After a 4 hour session last Wednesday (2 hours kickboxing, hour circuit training and an hour sparring) and an hour of sparring with the instructors and black belts of the gym (getting my arse handed to me) the main instructor said that there's a fight comp coming up. The PKA Nationals in Birmingham.
Now I don't know how long I have left of work down in Birmingham and to be honest I'm a little nervous. Though I'd be happy to do it. I was a little tired and probably not all there after that long a session so just said I'd sleep on it over the weekend and didn't ask enough about it which I'll probably ask tomorrow.
The fight is in two weeks and said he'd set it up with someone like myself who has no fight experience. So I'm just wondering if anyone here has any advice for me. If you'd take it. What I can expect or should expect. Has anyone fought in the PKA nationals? I'm a little in two minds about it. Honestly I'm flattered on the idea that my instructor thinks I'm ready, though not %100 if I am, though on the other side, I don't want to be sat regretting that I didn't try when I had the chance.
So what do you guys think? Be grateful for any advice given. Cheers
