For the Grapplers Quest tournament in Vegas I am kinda stuck with a weight class of 149lbs or under. I will be giving up 9 to 10 lbs on people but I think I can overcome that just fine.
The OTM tournament here in San Diego on December 5th provides me with a dilemma though.
I can compete in my age group or I can compete in a catch all 'adult' class. Normally I just do my age group if it is offered. But the lowest weight class for my age group is 159lbs or less. I am only 138lbs.... So I am giving up 20lbs.
Or even more as they allow you to weigh in without your gi the day before. Which also could play into an advantage for me as well.
In the adult class their is a weight class that tops out at 134lbs. Meaning I would have to loose about 5lbs.
My dilemma is this:
Fight in my age group but against heavier people and not have to do anything about my weight.
Or fight guys 10 years younger than me but having to weigh in the day before at 134lbs.
I can see advantages to both, just not sure which is the most advantageous to me. What do you think?
