I’m no stranger to competitions.
Have was competing in wrestling tournaments in high school and college. Got my second dan in Judo, where your choices to earning that are to wait years or win a lot in various grading tournaments.
Recently I’ve been training in Japanese Shooto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooto and have my first tournament, first with striking at least, in a little over a month.
While I plan to follow the usual style of training 3-5 times a week while dropping down a weight class, 77kg, I’m curious what/how everyone here prepares for their competitions.
Maybe it’s the inclusion of striking, or the fact that I haven’t had the need to drop weight in a while to compete. But I want to enter this and abuse the fact that I will be physically stronger than the majority of competitors.
