Cheers fellas,

Only thing I know about my opponent is that he's a couple of inches shorter and around 5kg lighter than me (I'm 6'4" and 98kg or 216lbs).

I've been doing MT for around 7 months and he is supposed to be of similar experience. Its an amateur (class c) bout; in the UK thats 3x2 rounds with body/head/leg armour, I'd rather not wear the head/body gaurd but what can you do??

I'm confident my instructor wouldbn't put me in if didn't think I could do it, he one of the best over here, he has also told me about not giving him the range to execute TKD stuff so I'll pratice that tonight.

I'll let you know how I get on.

thanks
