You're a bit late on that. While i'm at it, i need some pointers.
I'm short (5'3) due to my short legs. Pointers on what to do when i fight a 6 foot man with long legs. They seem to be around every corner, haha. I hit hard with both kicks and punches but i am not able to knock someone out with kick to the head. So, pointers would be appreciated. |
It sounds like you already know the answer to this. Get into short distance, and use your punches, your knees, elbows and low kicks. Use your footwork to quickly move around the opponent.
As for the introduction, notice I was addressing Torakun, not you.
I see no reason to rush it. Most knockdown tournaments around my location is minimum 4th kyu. I've been practicing for 8 years, and have never entered a knock-down tournament. I practice it regularly, against very competent opponents, I just haven't seen the need to actually enter. Especially not when the participation fee plus travel and lodging is a high price to pay for 1½ minute of sound beating.
