Imagine how you would feel if you traveled to a foreign country to compete in a knock-out style tournament, and you didn't know whether the fight would be fair, or unfair, until minutes before your competition.nnAdditionally, this was a particularly strange experience because just months prior, this organization put women’s weight divisions in place for the 2018 Sabaki Challenge.
That situation was completely inappropriate! Ultimately, I ended up fighting a lightweight, but that in no way takes away from the fact that the bracket was set up completely inappropriately. I didn’t find out until minutes before my fight, whether or not I would have a fair fight with someone my own size, or have to fight a heavyweight. On my flight to Japan, it was terrifying because I still had no idea if I would be fighting someone my own size, or fighting someone around twice my size. Mind you, I am a lightweight, and this is a knockout style tournament, with no padding or protection. During my training for Japan, the coaches told me that I should expect to fight a heavyweight woman They told me that the bracket was set up in a way where I would probably fight a heavyweight.
My personal experience with this organization is that I trained, as a black belt, for their Sabaki Challenge tournament in Japan.
