What a tournament. The whole time I was nervous and I felt like I was drunk. My legs felt really flimsy and I felt I could faint any minute. I had 2 fights. The first fight was quite a big surprise. As soon as the fight started I got hit 2 or 3 times before I realized it was an actual fight. I was sort of shocked.
I had this idea that we would feel each other out first but my opponent just brought it hard. Then all of a suden I woke up and went at him as hard as I could. I tried to take out his leg since he kept on kicking me in the head, I was able to win that fight. In my second fight I fought a much younger opponent.
He was a very good striker. He got me with so many punches and he moved so quickly but I tried to stick with my game plan of just going for the legs and eventually he stopped moving long enough for me to hit him.
I don't know how close the fight was but at some point we had to fight another minute round I was done. I had no more to give, somehow I pulled it off and won that fight as well.
All in all it was a good day. I think I need to work on moving around and punching a bit more, today I was able to get away with my kicks but it will help if I can incorporate more punches and better movement.
