It's international kickboxing and muay thai rules. I've had a few fights and wanted to try this, it's still amateur and thought the experience would be good. I've always wanted to try a tournament set up, I thought that'd be the best way to really test myself. The first day is preliminary match ups, then the next day, the following fights, (looking at the barckets, probably 2 more fights the same night).
Curious has anyone ever done this and what was your experience? The biggest thing I'm worried about is the adrenaline dump, does it hit you the same way the next day you fight, and the fight after that? I was wondering because the fight time is so close together, I wonder if it would still drain you the same way. The other thing I worry about is the nerves. In mma fights I got incredibly nervous, kickboxing and muay thai, not as much, but still nerves got to me bad, just wondering if you feel them the same way, or does your body sort of adapt to that pressure and it becomes easier.
I thought to take some of the stress off my body, I decided not cut any weight, fortunately I fall right into a weight class being the weight I'm at now. Figured this would help with the second days fights and my body wouldn't have to work as hard to recover from the previous day... That, and I enjoy the fact that I'll get to wear 12oz gloves instead of 10oz, my hands tend to always hurt pretty bad so maybe the bigger gloves will preserve my hands a little better.
Just looking for some input or advice, anything you did to help you out if you've done a tournament before with multiple fights. Thanks for any advice.
