It is A LOT of waiting around...9 am starting time turns into 11 am starting time....Depending on how big each division is, they can take over an hr each...
Also, for only 2 months of training, I dont know how wise it would be to go up against blue, purple, and brown belts...I know you're going in for experience, but that is too much imo....
Go into your beginner and novice white belt divisions..and if you aren't drained and feel you can compete in more, go into an intermediate division for white belts....
Most of all, have fun!! It is a GREAT experience...

Last two events, they have maybe 10 fighter in each division. So they don't put a beginner level. So that why i'm going there and try to do my best only.
For sure I don't go there to finish last. But in life, sometimes you need to be real and I know if i'm with a purple belt. It's gonna be hard to take him. But if i'm able to defend myself. Great
