I am 18 years old, and weight 68 kg.
I do BJJ(started 1,5 years ago). I am decent. I can beat most of the white belts(only 1 or 2 are better than me, and both of them are heavier, not waaay heavier, but heavy enough that it is hard to sweep or take them down). I can beat, or be competitive against some blue belts(even though some of them are heavier).
My coach said that he wants me to compete, while I am still a white belt. Another guy(purple belt) told me the coach told him I will probably get my blue belt in the next couple of months.
So I want to go to this competition: ADCC Romania.
I would compete in -70. The problem here is that there are 3 guys already in the competition, in my weight class.
One is a 21 year old, who has competed once before and lost.
Another one is a 17 year old guy(few months younger than me I think). He competed before and is 1-1.
Then the next is a 17 year old Blue Belt. He has way more experience. And I think he looks bigger than me.
I could cut to -65(I used to weight 66 kg just a few months ago, and I have almost 2 months to cut this weight). In that weightclass, the only guy is a 17 year old white belt. Based on his profile picture he is a MMA fighter, and has 2 grappling competitions, both lost in the first match. The competition here is waaay lighter.
The thing is: I kind of feel like a pussy if I cut. Like I am running from somebody. I think I should bulk to 71, then cut 1,5 kg(mostly waterweight, from a sauna or something). And just face these guys with more experience than me.
