Hey guys, noob guy here. Been trainning for 2 months and been feeling quite confident about my progress, im a very fit guy and and have no issues on the cardio and strenght aspect of it. What im asking here is should i start going to sparring? Im a bit scared to go and get hit! I got 14oz gloves and the whole kit already sorted out to start. Thank you sm!

Hello. I've been practicing this sport for 7 months now. we have two hours of training, divided between warm-ups, shadowboxing, and other drills. Sometimes we do punching bags, then we learn 3 or 4 techniques to practice with our teammates, followed by sparing. I've concluded that mastering a single technique consisting of at least 3 consecutive punches requires moderate to significant experience. I'd like a youtube channel or guidance from someone who can advise beginners like myself on the key elements they need to gradually master in a sparing. For example, the jab, the jab cross , Jab Low kick and other techniques. I hope my explanation is clear.

Never been to an event in Japan before, not sure what the process is and going alone! Anything i should know, keep track of or be aware of time-wise?

Hey, I've been training k1 for a bit over a year now and I want to learn how to throw stab kicks - the teep you hit with your toes like how Yuki Yoza throws them for example. If anyone has any advice or video tutorials online of how to do the technique properly. And also conditioning advice because I'm aware it's easy to mess your toes up doing this. Thanks

I've been training for about a year and have had one pkb muay thai fight (essentially light-contact K-1). I recently got approached by a local fight promoter after he watched me spar on an open sparring day. I told him to talk to my coach and subsequently got offered a fight.

The promoter said it would be against a 19 year old (I'm 23) with one year of experience and no record at 165 on December 5th. Both my coaches and I thought it would be a good match-up for me. So, I signed the contract and started fight camp.

Yesterday, I came to find out through my coaches that the promoter had either been unaware of or lied about my opponents experience. He has been training since he was a kid and has had around 35 of those pkb fights I mentioned earlier. He had also trained at the gym im at now, and one of my coaches had trained with him. I was discussing the fight with that coach today, and while he expressed confidence in me being game to take the fight, he also told me to remember why we have amateur fights while I decide if I want to take it or not. I took that to mean he was worried about what would happen to me in this fight.

I already told my coach last night that I wanted to still fight, but after hearing from the one that had trained with him, I'm having a lot of doubts. Is there any advice on how I should approach this?
