I sparred for the first time last night and I also attended the sparring class afterward. We did three- and four-minute rounds in sparring class. Wow, was that conditioning!
I was hoping to compete someday, but I thought it would be a year from now or even longer.
Our instructor wants me to compete (not just me, all of the 8th gups) in the Central New York Classic the first week of October. I feel a little nervous about it, but I'll be sparring the same rank, right? I wonder how age plays into it?
I will be going to weekly sparring classes, you can count on that. I heard we may spar in every class from now until the tournament. I don't know if that's true, but I hope so. So much to learn...so little time.
I haven't decided whether I'll compete in forms and board-breaking yet.
What was your first time competing like?
