I fought in our Crown Tourney this past weekend. After such a large tourney it is a good time to reevaluate.
It was a standard double elimination and I was out in 4. My last fight was against one of the finalists and I was able to watch the video. He fought well. My first fight was my other loss.
Round 1. This has traditionally been an issue for me. I have trouble getting up. Getting started. Warm-ups done before processional count for nothing as they occur a long time before the fight. The guy I am fighting is almost always someone I don't know. Sometimes it is a decent fight and I lose, sometimes I just lose. End result is I lose. This is something I need to address. I need to get past this first round. Bring my game. Do my job.
Round 4. Although I was out fought I feel I could have brought a better fight. I knew we were at range, but I am unsure I knew just HOW much we were at range. Hitting him where we were would have been nearly impossible. Instead of being patient I moved into a closer range to try and land a more dangerous shot. I lost for this.
Take home lessons
1) Fight your fight
2) Patience, fight at the range you want.
