just to make things worse no gnp =) he is probally gonna be the better grappler and i train 5days boxing and only 2 days of grappling training a week. it actually benefits me so even if he gets me to the floor i dotn need to defend myself for that long

Yeah I guess I just dont really see the point in doing an MMA match where theres basically no time for grappling.... why not just do a kickboxing bout?

well because the opponent is doing boxing, wrestling. if its a kickboxing match i would be happier

As far as cardio goes, I would say run, swim, and run some more...And when you feel like you can't do anymore swim...It helps me out.

There only one min rounds? You don't need cardio for that...lol

Since this is a church sponsored event and doesn't even sound like it will effect your amateur fight record, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Train hard in what little time you have left. Then impose your strengths on your opponent and use it as a learning opportunity. If you'd be happier if this was a kick boxing match, make it a kick boxing match. Keep a little more distance and be ready to sprawl. Then use your San Da. Don't give him the chance to use his wrestling.

Record the fight. Watch it, show it to coaches you might want to train with, hear what they have to say... this is a LEARNING OPPORTUNITY.

And if you record the fight, POST IT HERE!

And good luck.

boxing i got alot better and lowkicks got harder, i at least know how to sprawl and brawl, shrimpout, and on the ground i know scarfhold, side controll, armbar, and figure 4 lock but more than probably i will just death grip my opponent until the round is over if we do get to the floor...
