So i started karate a few saturdays ago and just got my white belt on saturday, but the teachers are pressuring to get me to compete already??, i know im only gonna compete in Kata and on white belt division but i feel like it's WAY too soon.
Many people (friends and family) said that it's because my teachers saw something in me but i don't even think im that good tbh...
I do want to compete honestly it seems tempting enough but i don't think i'll get that far in the upcoming competition and im afraid i will dissapoint my teacher and peers... What do you guys think?

that is pretty soon so im not sure what theyre thinking lmao you barely know your kata yet. if i had to hazard a guess i would say they want to get you comfortable with competing in front of people (and inevitably messing up or failing because it happens to all of us) so youre not afraid to later down the line. you WILL mess up and thats just part of it, youll be okay and get some valuable advice. best of luck

I used to do karate, honestly never competed but with things like these, you're a white belt, if you're interested in it do it for you! have fun! These kinda of things are more light-hearted, you're allowed to just compete for fun. So if you are interested do it! put yourself out there and break a leg (have fun)!
I'm not sure about the 'break a leg' thing, but yeah i'll probably do it
I'll keep updating my journey
