Somewhat rhetorical question, but my GM is hosting a tournament coming up in 2 months and I'm torn as to whether to compete, never went to one before much less competed. As I understand it the age group that would apply to me is 35 and up (I'm 50). What I am most concerned about is getting caught up in the heat of the moment sparring and hurting myself, also I know from first hand experience that I was alot quicker 15 years ago then I am now.
I've been going 3 days a week for about 2 years and recently got first Gup. One alternative that I have been leaning towards is just doing forms (Palgwe 8) and breaking, but part of me says that it's chickening out by not doing sparring. What do you experienced people think?
