... took up tae kwon do a year ago and tonight is my first competitive fight.
It's amazing how things change in a year. This time last year the thought of getting up and doing anything with a couple of hundred people watching would have terrified me to the point of not being able to even contemplate doing it.
All the best, you'll forget there is folk watching the first time you get ****ed right in the chops 😀
cage fighting ? 😉

Best of luck - kick some, err, ass !
My 5 yr old son is going to be watching so I'd better be half decent. 😀
I reckon by the looks of the olympic fights the spinny kick to the head will make you look coolest in front of your lad.
All the best.
go for it. remember to throw a dummy punch,watch them cover up, then kick 'em across the mat.
good luck
Aaah, wondered what you were on about on FB earlier. Good luck and stay focused!
you have tons of padding on you will be right and good luck
could be worse,could be muay thai* 😉 good luck by the way 🙂
* i don't do any form of martial art as i'm a [s]lightweight[/s] pacifist 😉 although i used to do tae kwon do/karate back when i was a teen (and did enjoy them)
You are the original zoofighter, you'll be reet!
Not that you will need any, buy good luck anyway. 😀
Please post pics later if you get any 'owies'.
Enjoy it, it's a hell of a buzz!
Good luck! Block HARD was the best advice I had....
Rember to cry if you loose or win seems the thing a lot of sportsmen do.
also is Tae kwon doh, acceptable for the X FACTOR, thats on tonight.
Best of luck, took it up 4 months ago and first comp next month. Last 3 sparring sessions (semi contact) has resulted in 3 black eyes, scrotal bruising( even with a cup) and a thumb that still doesn't grip properly. I is hooked!!
Yeah, block hard & keep body low/crouched
Good luck, keep punching/kicking & make your boy proud!
Aye - that didnt quite go as planned. Fight was close enough, but the guy was too good on the night....
Big hitter?
That's shite patter you've got there.
Fair play for doing it. Roll on the next fight?
Top marks to you for doing it.
And good luck for future fights.!!!
Apologies if my wee leg pull touched a nerve.....
Nah - it didnt touch a nerve, it's just shite patter. 😀
