Type once, see twice. Just like the end of the night!
I got third. I did not feel I fought that well, spent more time preparing my students than preparing myself. My opponent was shorted than me and kept in tight. I did not use my knees effectively. Forgot to use a few combos that probably would have got me the distance to work.
Also realized, in training my students to push forward, I inadvertently trained my self to fight moving back.

Its twice as hard to prepare for a fight when you are coaching, sorry to hear you didnt do as well as you hoped, but well done on the 3rd place!

Here is my fight I just got it from the video guy. Haven't really watched it yet myself. I am the taller fighter, starting on the left. Feel free to compliment or criticize as you see fit. Osu www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzOu3N0n3IM

Like you stated yourself, the main thing I see is that you're moving backwards too much, giving your opponent too much respect. The brown belt has a peculiar way IMHO of keeping his elbows tucked in (which is good) but he then occasionally holds his hands up on the side of his chin on both sides which leaves him open for some serious strikes to the face and head. He also moved very linear...easier said then done but I see a lot of cutting angles and a good combinations with head kicks would be his worst enemy.
Like I said in the beginning you know that you were moving backwards too much, that's really all I see "wrong" that you did when I honestly think you were the more powerful striker. You stepped up to the plate which earns my respect, can't always fight according to the game plan. I'd like to see you do one more tournament with more training on cutting angles and imposing your will, not retreating on opponents because I think for your frame and the power you have it will work for you. Hopefully you're at next year's Kyokushin challenge and I'll make it a point to be there even if there is snow..I'll just beg to catch a ride with somebody with a better equipped vehicle or may even get a new truck/car myself in fall...
For any of you relatively new to this, it's very hard to train your own students to fight and prepare yourself properly to fight as well. So much easier when you have the luxury of training under a good trainer for a fight which makes me give Seattle that much more respect for stepping up to the plate! Osu!

Osu! Along with what po1 says you also missed some great Ashi Barai opportunities.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think about the angles. MMX, even after doing some training for the Ashi Barai it did not cross my mind.
PO1, when you come to class, if you are up to it, you can lead us through some cutting drills. (second or third class if you wish). You can use my fight for examples.
Kyokushin Challenge tournament next year will be in Seattle, I will be hosting, so I won't get to fight. But you will be able to make the drive without concern of snow! ;D

Would be my pleasure, Seattle. What I'm going to teach is probably similar to what you've been taught. Just how to cut a 35 to 60 degree angle on either side, an exercise called "dumb bull" where the person just moves forward and keeps walking to you so you can work the exercise, and the third is still the same but adding a push to create distance before you cut but also cupping the opponent's lead elbow underneath lifting it up while you pivot/cut on the outside to set up for a mawashi geri to the ribs or hiza geri.
Nothing revolutionary but if you get it down it can sure surprise your opponent and set you up for some counters. Osu!
