Man I competed in Masters 2 at Medium Heavy a few weeks back. Lost all my matches. Super nerve wracking and drains all your energy. Big props to you for competing and fighting till the end.
I just signed up for my first IBJJF tournament to take place in July 2017. I am pretty nervous. I am a white belt, medium heavy, and Master II (I'm 43). How did you find the experience?
Hey there. All I can do is share my own experience, which has been great. I've had heartbreaking losses, huge comeback wins, and everything in between. The only real advice I would give you is to keep telling yourself that, no matter how confident someone might look, they are just as nervous as you are. Burn that anxiety like fuel--picture it as a big pile of lumber that you are carrying on your back, and set it down and light that baby up. Just that simple visualization helps me a lot. You probably roll with tougher guys in practice than the guys you will fight, so don't doubt yourself. And remember, regardless of the outcome, there are over a billion people in China who don't give a rat's ass. :)
Thanks for the info! I am actually experimenting to see if I could cut weight to get into the lower weight division. I have time. Sounds interesting....how many fights do you have at a typical IBJJF tournament? I figure everyone has nerves....usually people do before contact sports (I used to play rugby). Do you think the IBJJF tournaments are well run? Thanks!

That grip fight when on forever. Good action.
good match, I understand how frustrating it was for the cross face to not get counted but hood job nonetheless, subscribed!

Bull shit. That reversal from side control was great.
