First comp on Saturday
Hi guys, so im a yellow belt (19F) and have my first taekwondo tournament on Saturday. I’m actually very anxious and a little scared because I haven’t sparred without anyone outside of the people in my club. I know how to do front, side, middle, cut and drop kicks. I think I block fairly well unless it’s a head kick which I tend to get panicked by. Are there any tips or stuff I could do this week to better my chances?? I know there’s a high chance I’ll lose but my coach keeps telling me I need to start competing otherwise I won’t make any progress.
Edit: also my flexibility isn’t crazy good so I can only kick upto my coaches shoulder (he’s around 5’8~5’9) so if I get an opponent with a height advantage I probably can’t do head kicks, I also struggle with balance a little and can’t do many kicks in a row without losing my balance. This is all the stuff that’s making me anxious.
