How experienced do you need to be to compete - 06/29/07 06:31 PM
Hello everyone. As you can see I am a newcomer to this site and also to MA. I have been studying MA since last December, the style being MMA with a heavy influence on boxing/kickboxing, defensive work etc.
I have been told that my sparring ability is excellent, speed, movement, technique etc. I put this down to the fact that I am obviously the least experienced in the class therefore it's fight or flight and I prefer to fight.
The question I want to ask is am I too inexperienced to compete as there is a fight night coming up in November and one or two people have said they think I would do well, also because I am 37 I would apparently need to enter as a veteran Ironic eh!!
