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.
