Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

September 28. Also first time

Even if my health fully permitted the fees to compete are very high and in some tournaments you may also have go pay a membership fee to the spomsoring organization. Rarely, if ever will a few bodies paying a lower rate result in a need for more staffing, and the tournament gets more money anyway in total this way. I have yet to see a tourney with a rate for those of low income (with proper proof of course to prevent abuse) for those who simply cannot afford the fees. The only benefit I have seen is free parking in many tourneys but no equivalent benefit is ever given to those who walk or come by public transit to the site. It would be nice to compete but many of us due high rents and corporate price hikes on many items actually run up more debt every month and just paying for regular training at a dojo is difficult enough. I have seen dojos that will work with you, wish the tourney organizers would try working with you as well.

Im entering my first local tournamet on the 20th of october

Vamos! All the best man! Most importantly, enjoy the experience 🙏

Thanks bro

Good luck! Kick some ass!

Thanks, im quite nervous, but at the moment at least im trying to lose some weight to be the heaviest one in the bracket, the max i can be is 76kg and im on 75.5kg

If ever, it‘ll be my first competition ever

End of October

I‘m open for tips and advice, especially whenever comes to cutting weight and not hindering myself

Best advice I got before my first comp was to breathe. I thought my matches I kept coming back to the advice. Deep breaths, slow myself down, and think of what to do next.

Also, try and come up with a game plan. Your go-to move from most positions. It may not always work out, but it's better then trying to come up with your next move on the spot. Write it down so you'll remember it.

Lastly, don't get tunnel vision. If something isn't working, change it up. I've been in matches where I kept trying a single move that didn't work multiple times and kept giving up top position.

Good luck!

Best advices ever. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the advice 💪🏽

Great advice!

Saturday the 17th

Enjoy the experience and all the best sir 💪

No more competition for me now. Too old now to risk any injury, and the training sessions give me enough wrestling fun.

When do you complete again next?
