After analyzing why I bombed my first comp, this is one of the things I realized. I had no warm up. There were other things too but definitely going to warm up properly next time. Thanks for the video.
I didn't expect warm up would make that much of difference, but I took your advice a few videos back and I was so surprised how a good warm-up made my matches so much easier cardio wise. I dedicate my gold to you.
I find it's hard to find a warm-up spot at tournaments. Some have no area at all. I've warmed up and did nothing before a match and I have to say I've had mixed results. Chewy is right about the intensity. It could be shocking.
I've been doing bjj for 2 years now. I've been to two competitions, each a year apart and performed exactly the same, no wins and no points. It's like me at a competition and in class are two different people. My anxiety is horrible at them that I almost don't want to do them. My coach says it's not required but I don't wanna be the only one that doesn't compete. He says I'm not losing because of my BJJ skills. I'm losing because of my low self confidence and my pre match drug usage. Not to sound like a junkie, it's my prescription anxiety medication. He says I need that anxiety for that fight or flight. I'm getting stuck in bad positions and just accepting it. I've struggled with anxiety and low self esteem my entire life. My coach still promoted me to a 4 stripe white belt even though I don't think I deserve it.
@@Noslack412 same. But one year, one comp. No wins, no points. Treat your anxiety first. It's more detrimental to have debilitating anxiety than to have bjj competition losses. Don't worry about points just protect from subs and do good jiu jitsu like you're rolling at your gym.. that's my plan for the next one at least.

As someone who plans on competing after nursing school, this is great advice. Thank you 🙏

I haven't competed in bjj yet but I've won regional medals in fencing. Never have your first match of the day be when it matters.
Feels illegal to be this early to chewy
Third is still really good @ no gi worlds 😝
This video is about 8 months too late LOL

I compete very often, and never warm up. I like to sit and relax before matches. I don’t typically get nervous anymore.
