Should I go to heavier division or to jump down from M2 to adults?
Hi people,
Sorry for bothering with dumb question, I would like to know your opinions and maybe experience, because I am facing such “issue” for the first time.
On upcoming IBJJF event there is no one in my age and weight category (light, M2).
I basically can see two options:
- To go up to Middleweight
- To go down from Masters 2 to adults.
I am a bit anxious about Middle weight because if some spine issues in the past (since then I am avoiding rolling people 80kg+), but mostly because of my gameplan is built around ankle pick and/or collar drag which I didn’t have chance to test in heavier people and, to be honest, I hardly imagine I can pull it off…
But at the same time going to hungry adult brown belts who can happen twice younger than me also doesn’t sound as a smart decision 😅
So the questions are:
Did you have this experience before and how it did work out?
What would you do in my shoes?)
Thank you all and have a great day!
Osss🤙
