Well im putting so much hard work and effort cause dad wants to enter too (hes 35 im 16 btw) and he’s also trying hard to get some strength up and speed plus flexability. I ‘ve been in different martial arts Kempo, Karate, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, and wing chun but my favorite thing to do is tai chi (what i mean is when im done training to imrpove some other styles i learned throughout the years, I meditate for an hour gathering chi or energy) and I practice my flexability and speed not forgetting endurance as well. Lastly, i’ve getting into endurance and taking hits from my uncle cause he’s teaching martial arts but he’s taking the time to teach me at the same time. I’ve heard in martial arts tournaments that the participants go all out and never hold back and they could kill you as well if something wrong happens. Is it ok if me and my dad to enter knowing stronger people would be there? (Dad’s been trained in muay thai and aikido for 7 years but he wants to get back in improving those styles plus he’s a hard working man and he likes fighting a lot too.) The thought of fighting people stronger than me means that I almost won’t stand a chance. Ive been doing martial arts for years since i was 6 and my dad wants to be healthy too but he barely told me he signed us up for a martial arts tournament without me knowing. Should I quit and keep training or enter so i can put all those hours of work into showing improvement?
Thanks im focusing so much in meditating/chi increase my punching and kicking speed as best I could I mean everybody in my family says my reflexes are perfect than a lot of people even my uncle the one whos training me and my dad he gets jealous and amazed at my speed. I gotta get my head into the game. By the way when i forced to fight people who knew so much about fighting in middle school (bullies,big guys, adult men, really buff people,etc.) my fights really last so long like 30 minutes because they could take hits and we always fight where the park is and yeah they say until one or the other bleeds heavily or passes out.
