I have my first grappling tourney coming up in about 6 weeks - taken me a while to actually start competing
Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to prepare.
Im doing circuit weight training, bjj about 4 times a week and 2 strength training workouts a week.
along with some mma and muay thai classes - concentrating on bjj until comp.
then after that i want to have an amateur mma fight later on in the year so if you have any tips for that too...
im going to tiger muay thai in july to do a training camp for 4 weeks so hopefully that will teach me what it takes.

1st off nogi is not by belt, novice, begineer, intermidite, expert. And it will be lbs, not kg. I ment are you doing a naga, GQ, pan ams, local tourny. It pretty much sounds like you are doing more than what most of your comp is doing at that level. Cardio will be an issue, you are in a popular division. Basics, basics, basics. Work on your stregnths... What you are going to try to do when you get there. Don't start rolling from ur knees all the time. Get used to the td, if your a guard puller, don't hesitate. If your traveling know where your going eat, stay, and routes. Getting lost and being hungrey can piss you off and effect the mental game. Most importantly, have fun. You are dropping a lot of money, so relax, enjoy yourself. Win or lose I promise you after you compete your game is going to take off, competing makes a real difference.

Orry, us stupid americans just assume everyone is from USA. Do you only do nogi? I am concerned with growing number of gyms that do not ever train with a gi. I think it's important. Anyway best of luck to you, send me a pm and let me know how it goes. FUNDMENTALS WIN FIGHTS!

I ment to tell you, about four days out cut out any training that can injury you, if you aren't ready by then you have no buisness fighting, and you don't want to pull a shamrock!!!!!
