Drill, spar, condition, rinse and repeat. The preparation that goes into being a jiu jitsu athlete along with the anxiety of competition makes the completion of a day like yesterday that much more rewarding. After less than a year of existence, Five Rings Jiu Jitsu brought out 22 competitors and brought back 12 medals (9 silver and 3 bronze)!!
This is for those of you who are competing for the first time. A little bit about what to expect, a little bit about how I personally prepare, and a little bit about some things I think are important. I'm not saying I'm an old hound at competing, but I've been through it a number of times.
This is a GREAT post by Christian. I wanted to post it on my blog because I believe it captures the essence of learning / growing ones game. Super stuff to keep in mind as you walk out on the training floor every day!!!
