Rule No 1: "If you are fighting a great kicker, don't give them space"  Gary It's a great rule! I try and stick to em like glue .....But seen a vid of someone try that with D Chan and he just kneed him in the head instead ;D |

LOL I'm not saying it's easy and I'm not trying to hint that I could have done better. Just saying that most of us can take a few low kicks and body punches, while one kick on the jaw is usually enough. Therefore; move in on a kicker. (But watch for knees  ) |

Oh I agree completely; against better kickers and taller fighters that's usually plan A. Against the likes of D Chan it would be extremely optimistic for me to think of executing plan B. Sometimes the best you can do is pick your poison.
Looks like the Scottish Open was a great success. Lots of skill and grit on display.

Just curious - why is anyone allowed to enter more than one weight category? A heavier person wouldn't be able to enter the lightweight as it is for those under a certain weight, so why should a lightweight be able to enter the heavyweight category, when it is meant to be for those above a certain weight? Seems very unfair to me.

as far as i'm aware Ros it's that the heavy weights are generally bigger and should out power the lighter fighter (not always the case, i know), kind of like when fights are decided on weight difference putting the lighter fighter through, so if a lightweight wants to take on the heavier fighters it's 'fairer'

In some tournaments weight can be a deciding factor so letting a lighter competitor fight in the heavyweights wouldn't really work.
But I remember seeing a lightweight win the heavyweights in the sabaki challenge and it brought the house down. Tremendous performance.

as far as i'm aware Ros it's that the heavy weights are generally bigger and should out power the lighter fighter Exactly, so people should only fight in their own weight category. The potential for causing quite serious damage to someone increases as the weight difference increases, surely? Very generally speaking, lighter fighters are also likely to be quicker etc. so if there is no score after 2 rounds, maybe the mobility would affect how the judges decide? All hypothetical of course. I just think that there are so many potential issues that everyone should stick to their own weight category. |

Hi Ros, normally what you say would be the case... we only had one other HW fighter so agreed to the others taking part so the other fighter could compete.. If you were competing it wouldnt have happened, so it's actually all your fault!  |
