Hey guys
My master just told me on saturday that there is going to be a full contact wtf tournament held at a small club in about a months time from now. I haven't trained in sparring since I got this job right out of school which leaves me with no time ( 4hrs commute a day) back in august. There is also no head kicks allowed. My stamina is really bad and I have trouble breathing through the mouthguard and helmet. When I spar I usually go for head kicks since I'm tall so it is kind of a handicap for me. Half of my kicks I cannot use because of this no head shots rule which includes spinnning hook kick, axe kick, hook kick,etc. How should I go about improving my stamina and how to fight when your only allowed to kick to the body? I'm thinking about doing sprints or rounds of sparring.
